Packing for our trip to Mayo Clinic. What to bring?

One more little thing I tossed in at the last minute that came in handy was a small extension cord. Used it at the hotel and when admitted to the hospital for keeping my tablet and phone charged.

I agree with @roch that some of the things to pack may be determined by whether you are flying or driving, where you're staying while in Rochester, what climate you are used to, etc. If you're staying somewhere with a pool, don't forget swimwear.

@bluecow came from California to Mayo Rochester for the first time in the winter. She gathered advice in this discussion that might help you too.

@splashofhues, how are you doing with the packing?

Greetings! I'm here right now, snow on the ground, it's 1 degrees outside, staying at Residence Inn at 441 W Center St. We will stay here from now on, the room has a kitchenette (fridge, dishwasher, cooktop, and complimentary breakfast). Comfortable walking shoes are a must. The Mayo area has underground walkways that are well lit/climate controlled so you don't even have to go outside. I have attached a photo. We stayed at Kahler Grande before and it's very convenient to Gonda Building. No free breakfast but it was convenient and quiet. Mini fridge and microwave.

Good morning, @sunshine53. You’re staying in my home away from home! When I had my bone marrow transplant my husband and I stayed in the Residence Inn for 4 months. Thank you for sharing a view of the subway so others can see how convenient it is to get to the Clinic without facing the elements. Just an elevator ride down to the Sub level and walk over to the clinic…no coats, boots, umbrellas… ☺️

Best wishes for a successful visit to the clinic. Do you have quite a few tests? How long will you be staying?
