Olbas Oil is my lifesaver. <BR> <BR>It's basically a decongestant oil which is sold in a tiny glass bottle in UK pharmacists such as Boots (not over the counter, just normal sales). <BR> <BR>It contains menthol oil, eucalyotus oil, peppermint oil etc and clears my nose. I have serious hayfever from March though October so it's a great great thing. <BR> <BR>Also good for steam baths (like Vicks) when bunged up more. <BR> <BR>These days you can even buy vile tasting but very effective Olbas Oil throat pastilles for when you have a sort throat. I cant keep them in my mouth for long as they taste vile so I suck half a pastilles worth and then spit it out! <BR> <BR>(You did ask). <BR> <BR>

1. Comfortable shoes - but man my feet will end up killing me regardless <BR> <BR>2. A camera - I don't subscribe to the postcards are just as good theory, but I usually buy them anyway as souvenirs <BR> <BR>3. A sense of adventure (barely beat out a sense of humor)

1) my computer so I don't miss Fodors <BR>2) AAA card, as they will post a bond in case you get arrested <BR>3) an all purpose credit card (can use it to buy anything else I need)

Hi Sandi, good health(with a healthy attitude), compatible traveling companion, good shoes, which means happy feet.....happy feet=happy me! <BR>Judy :-)

To all of you out there with an "open" mind, is it an empty mind.

A travel journal to record all those great moments etc. <BR>A great camera <BR>My family!

Besides most of the previously mentioned, Immodium and Febreze. (And I'm going to look for olbas oil.)

More than one pair of shoes, <BR>a corkscrew, <BR>toilet paper.

1 - Backpack - so my husband can carry it too! <BR>2 - Streetwise Maps <BR>3 - Comfortable Black Shoes (so I blend in with the Europeans!)

1. Husband <BR>2. Camara <BR>3. Travel guide <BR> <BR>(not in that particular order .. hehe)

I have a bad back, so 1 a collapsible cane 2 support or compression knee highs, and 3 a european outlet heating coil. I know I'm taking money and credit cards or I can't go. Passport and tickets are already a must or I'm not allowed to leave, and manners and a sense of humor seem a given, or I could just stay home and be a bitch. Everything else may be different or cost more, but is pretty easy to find. My 3 choices are things I can't do without, and they're not easy to find overseas.

Sandi: <BR> <BR>Here are my three: <BR> <BR>1) Enough Luggage! <BR> <BR>2) No Worries! <BR> <BR>3) My Bible <BR> <BR>(I always bring it, have done so since my first trip at age 5.) <BR> <BR>Happy Travels <BR> <BR>Oaktown

Obviously: <BR> <BR>Me, myself, and I. <BR>
