Women's Health and Comfort

  • Traveling across several time zones can cause confusion about when to take time-sensitive medications. Such medications should be taken at the intervals prescribed by your doctor, regardless of local time. Be sure to carry the phone number of your prescribing physician in case problems arise.

  • Clogs, strappy sandals, and stylish pumps may be cute, but they're hardly practical for traveling. One pair is fine, but don't forget to pack your tried-and-true, comfy walking shoes. Also bring band-aids and mole-skin, in case of blisters.

  • Leave your purse at home and invest in a fanny pack. Carry all of your important documents and valuables on your body. Wear a separate belt or neck pouch for cash.
