The meeting today was a little overwhelming, so much information to process but fortunately there is not that much time left to stress about it. A week from tomorrow we will be on our way.
I know some of our travel group read this blog and the doctor traveling with us mentioned that we should organize ourselves so that we are not all bringing the same things. So I wanted to put it out there that we are planning to bring powdered Amoxicillin and Elimite. Feel free to use my comments section to post what you are bringing.

I have the lice meds and am calling for antibiotics and the scabies stuff (am scared to plan on sharing this one in case they all have it since it is contagous). I will ask for a different antibiotic (or may just have to be happy with what we get).
ONE MORE WEEK!!!!!!!
We are bringing the powdered antibiotic, scabies lotion & lice meds. (I can handle bugs, just not on the body.)
Plus we have the OTC meds: Benadryl, tylenol, gas drops, neosporin, cortisone, lotrimin, orajel, etc. We're just a rolling pharmacy! And it goes without saying-- we're happy share what we have if anyone needs it.
We are also bringing a luggage scale and a roll of duct tape (always comes in handy for something.)
Now, if could just find room for my clothes...
Kristin, you might not need the luggage scale...all the hotels we were in had bathroom scales. Just remember that 20 kg = 44 pounds.
Can't remember the name of our Beijing Hotel...something like the Jia Garden? In Nanchang, we stayed at the Gloria. Are you guys staying there?
I have the powdered antibiotic (amoxicillin), elimite, infant tylenol, children's motrin (Loren), orajel, bacitracin, balmex, A+D ointment. Adult motrin (we might need some too!) and Cipro...so far!
