Well, I need help again. At his insistance, we are taking my dad to Mississippi to visit the relatives from his side of the family. (Since my brother is dead, he really wants my son in particular to meet his side of the family tree. I think I met em once when I was 15.) Anyway, since we so rarely fly, I don't know diddly squat about all the new regulations. I have been trying to read up, but have questions that I figured some of you globetrotters could answer.
Meds?
My dad is on a ton of them. Do they all have to be in their little individual prescription bottles, or can I just take his weekly pill box full?
Katie's captopril has to be kept cold. I am planning on taking a little cooler and carrying it on board and have told our pharmacy that I need it in 3 ounce bottles. Any problems with that? They said they would have them individually labeled for me. (They are very accommodating.) Anything else?
The 3 ounce rule - is that only for carry on stuff? or even for checked luggage?
And so I can't even bring bottled water on for the kids? Is that right?
What about snacks?
I think these are the most essential questions that I would be very grateful for if someone knows the answers. If you have any other advice, it would be welcomed. We are taking a wheelchair for my dad to get him around faster as he walks with a cane and a snail would beat him in a race.
THanks much. Hugs. J.
