I'm gong on a twelve day trip in a few weeks -- don't worry, husband and dogs will be at home. I'm going to a workshop and sightseeing on the way.
The first thing I always do is start to locate and organization medications. In fact, I do that every Saturday. I use one of those SMTWTFS pill boxes and organize my pills for the week, that way I know how much of everything I have and if I need to order.
I do the same thing with diabetes supplies. I haven't started packing yet, but I make sure I have at least double (some times triple, depending on the item and the length of the trip). I'll start packing things about a week before the trip.
And yes, because my husband is at home, he could ship something I might need but that is a pain for both of us. It's easier to take more than I need.
To the non-diabetic, this might seem anal but I've forgotten something major when I haven't planned this well.
