The last thing you will want to think about is any
type of emergency situation arising during your
vacation. However, if you'll follow a few simple
steps, you'll most likely eliminate any type of
interruption to your plans.
The most common occurrence whenever you visit a
strange city or even a strange country, is getting
used to the water and the food. It's a real bummer,
but, the most common ailment is diarrhea. Now, this
is the last thing we like to talk about, especially
on a vacation based web site, but...think about it.
You eat a hearty breakfast, drink coffee, and off to
the theme parks you go! There are you are, standing
in line when all of the sudden your tummy is doing a
few loops itself. What do you do and why is this
happening?
Well the first thing you do is you go into your bag
(that we taught you all about earlier) and grab your
favorite anti-diarrhea medicine. If you think about
it, the juice and coffee that you're drinking is
local water. Your body is not used to it. Those eggs
most likely came from a local farm, again, your body
isn't used to it. Some people are far more sensitive
than others. Be prepared!
A few other things you might want to consider
bringing with you:
-
Tylenol / Advil (Headaches can ruin a great
day!)
-
A
Few Band Aids (Minor cuts - you don't want to
expose them!)
-
Antacid (Theme Park Food can get pretty greasy!)
Basically you can bring all of this in small amounts
and keep them handy. You don't need to bring the
entire medicine cabinet, but, if you are on daily
prescriptions, you might want to get yourself a
travel pill carrier. This way you won't have to
worry about having to carry a pharmacy with you.
Most
of the larger Theme Parks have some sort of minor
emergency medical facility on property with trained
medical professionals. As always, if there is a real
emergency - the emergency number to remember is
911. (Make sure
that your kids know this too!)
