  • Motion sickness pills - chewable is best, so you can take a partial dose (and only take what is necessary)
  • Pepto bismol - chewable
  • Gas-X
  • I'll bring drugs in case someone gets sick, we don't need everyone to bring a pharmacy

  • Binoculars
  • A hair dryer if you're picky about cheap ones
