Good advice. I had an appointment with infection disease/travel at mayo. Reviewed vaccinations. They did give me one for the area traveling to. Can't remember exactly. Could have been typhoid or yellow fever. Also gave me dose of antibiotics to carry in case travelers diarrhea happened. Carried liquid iv powder mix a told to take if I got bad diarrhea for hydration. Also carry pills in your carry bag. Don't trust your checked luggage. I also carry copy of my blood orders on file with mayo. They give me a copy and I keep with me in case I need blood work for any reason. Probably not high priority but I have them. Yes, and I always use extra diligence on the daily hygiene food considerations we do daily at home. Water biggie. Bottled water only. No ice in drinks etc

Thanks so much for the tips. I have an appointment with infectious disease scheduled at Mayo. I will make sure to ask for the vaccine and antibiotics to bring with me. Thanks again.
