For those of you who have trouble with ears popping and/or nausea from flying, try these on for size: Found at your local drug store, both for under $10. Make sure you read directions and know how to use them correctly!

Ear Planes relieve ear discomfort, popping & pain while flying. The uncomfortable effects of cabin pressure are negated with the exclusive pressure regulating Ceramx™ filter. Developed by the House Ear Institute and tested by U.S. Navy Pilots. These really work! Specify adult or child size.





The Sea-Band has been clinically tested against nausea and vomiting in travel, pregnancy, anaesthesia, chemotherapy and all conditions which induce nausea.

The Sea-Band is a knitted elasticated wrist band, which operates by applying pressure on the Nei Kuan acupressure point on each wrist by means of a plastic stud. Because the bands do not use drugs, they do not cause any of the side effects associated with anti-nausea drugs and can be worn on each wrist whenever you feel nauseous. They are suitable for adults and children.
The Sea-Band may be washed up to five times with a mild detergent in warm water without losing its elasticity.

The Sea-Band is sold in drug chains and pharmacies across the world. Some of our customers include:

In USA :K-Mart, Brooks, Meijers, Kerr Drug, Happy Harry's, Stop&Shop, Eckerd, Longs, Osco, Rite Aid, Savon, CVS

Pages 6 & 7 of your Explore Guide say it all: "Pack the following items as indicated".

What does this mean? It means that eventhough you might see something on the list you think you don't need, you do! Please ponder these items, won't you?

• anti-diarrhea medication - now just because you've never had this problem before . . . with the flight, curvy mountain roads on a bus, strange food and nerves, you'll want this stuff if you "have an episode" so pack it! You may be sick when we are nowhere near a store. If you already have it with you, that's half the battle!
• empty gallon/qt sized resealable bags - you can organize your souvenirs orut wet clothes in your bag if they aren't dry enough to pack. If you get sick at your stomach, you have one ready to go.
• heavy-weight synthetic athletic socks for hiking - take care of your feet on this program, keep them happy and we'll all be happy
• change of clothing in your carry-on - we don't anticipate lost baggage, but wouldn't you rather be prepared?
• sunglasses - hello!
• blister kit
• cold/flu medication - even if you're not sick when you leave, you may catch something while you're there
• hand sanitizer
• two water bottles - we will take part in an incredibly beautiful and spectacular all-day hike. You'll need to have enough water to last the entire day. Two water bottles are a necessity.
• Sleeping pad for under your sleeping bag - you'll need to protect yourself from hypothermia from laying directly on the ground. Plus, it's a lot more comfortable!
• Label my name on EVERYTHING - Please use your first name and last initial. The other students probably will only know you by your first name, so using your last name is not helpful. Things not always labeled that should be . . . cameras, backpacks, beach towels, jackets and sweatshirts, water bottles, ball caps. Bring along a Sharpie marker!
