ChefMary412 said:As far as traveling with meds, my mom taught me a great trick. She uses a small zip-up lunch bag to hold everything in. It easily keeps everything in one place.
Everyone might already have a way to travel with meds, but I just wanted to add to the 'wall of advice"!
I would not do this for any prescription meds! Any prescriptions (especially narcotics) should be kept in their original bottle with your name and info on it!!
Just don't want anyone to run in to any problems at the airport getting meds taken away! I might be a little paranoid, but hubby is a pharmacist, so we must do it by the book!!

I was going to say AWESOME! until I read the reason why! Sorry to hear that - look at it this way, you can still make it to conference!

I'm pretty sure she was talking about putting the bottles of meds in a zip top bag....not dumping them out into one. (-:

I'm so sorry for the loss of your grandfather. I just lost my grandma this past week and the funeral was yesterday so I know exactly how you are feeling. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I was on the FAA web site specifically looking to see if I needed to put my meds in their original bottles. I take 4 a day, and two are taken twice a day ... so for simplicity's sake, I mix my iron pill and my Metformin and carry them in the same bottle. Red and white .. easy to tell apart. Also, I keep my Met in a 7 year old bottle b/c it's small enough to fit into my purse, even though the dose has changed. FAA web site says clearly that medication labeling is recommended but NOT required .... good news b/c when I fly next month, I will not be checking ANYTHING.I'm sad that I will not be there ... duty calls, and part of the reason I backed out was that I didn't get $150 for opening a checking account as soon as I thought I would. When the money showed up, I was gleeful but I felt a twinge of sadness over not using it to be with you all. I will be living vicariously through your posts!

Today is July 9. There are only 3 days left until the start of National Conference.
Have you checked the fridge? This would be a great day to make note of anything that’s getting low so that you can pick it up. You don’t want their memory of your NC trip to be that there was no milk for their Cocoa Puffs. This will also give you an opportunity to pick up those healthy snacks you’re going to take along. You can unpack them from the grocery bags right into your suitcase so no one else will be tempted to eat them.

I was going to say the same thing. Especially since, depending on how much of your med you are traveling with (and the local laws), you could be arrested for possession of a controlled substance if you don't have the original prescription bottle with you at all times. I have joint custody of my kids with my ex-husband, and since my daughter takes anti-seizure meds, we were told by her doctor and pharmacists to NEVER send her meds in anything but their original container. So just be careful!
