If you are traveling to another time zone, and will be there for an extended period (couple of weeks), remember that your meds are taken 12 hrs apart. Keep your watch to home local time and take them based on that. In addition to the others' suggestions, take along some latex gloves, and basic first aid kit that includes allowed pain relievers and upset tummy relievers. Yes to the medication list, contact numbers for Dr's. And most of all, enjoy yourself! You've earned It!

I will nudge my medicine time by intervals before my trip if it is in another time zone so that is works out to be on my regular time of day sequence. (8AM; 8PM). I discussed this with my transplant dept. and it works for me. But one time I nudged it in the wrong direction! Boy was that ever a mess to figure out - won't do that again!
Of course, I have to readjust when I return home.
FYI - I just returned home from our annual trip and when we collected our "Hold" mail, there was a Prograf kit waiting for me!
Happy and Safe Travels to all!
