Pippy
Personally always take the following:
Pept0-bismol - cure all - used to use it for hangovers but is excellent for heartburn, indigestion, nausea & the runs
Sudocreme - good for on bites even if it is meant to be a nappy rash cream.
Anti-histamine tabs in case we get mosi bites it stops reaction to bites.
Have a fantastic time under the circumstances. So glad you have decided to go to such a fantastic country. A very sad weekend, Snorkel babe has also made me cry all weekend. xx
When I went last Oct, I took Germolene, TCP and also lots of books to read.
Stock up on sun lotion and after sun, I remember it was expensive, even though not much of a choice and nothing I had seen before here.
Also loo rolls, the toilets outside, especially on the way to Cairo................

when are you going pippy?
We await reports Pippy! And wish u all best for a good holiday. Try to find Internet access..I am sure that many like myself on this forum will be anxiously following your excellent example and await news..
My personal addition on the subject of must need pack is for Acyclovir cold sore cream...as soon as I get in the sun...erupt! Must pack Acyclovir or (Boots own brand equivelant just as good) if any persons have tendancy to cold sores...remember so called "sun herpes" is the one unwanted trigger..
Regards
Lyn!

Hi Lyn 
Now that's a very useful suggestion as my Mum is prone to cold sores in the heat
I will post while I'm away, there's internet access at the Conrad

You beat me to it Pippy!
I don't expect the shoes are the cheapest BUT it did mean I didn't have to trek around the shops with only ten days to go...
Also bought Safesea and some other bits and pieces and mentioned Holiday Truths to them

Thanks Bellaoz, after looking I realised I had actually used them to buy some Bergaderm a few months back.
Had a look for aqua shoes in google and couldn't find any cheaper so looks like you did ok!

Aquashoes etc arrived this morning at 9am!
Considering I only ordered them yesterday I think that's pretty good service and will definitely use them again...

Aqua shoes are available from 'Pavers'. I got some today for the grand total of £4.99 a pair...what a bargain. Also try 'Donnay/Sportsworld' although they are very very cheap @ £2.89, there are also very hard to get hold of from there...but hey who knows, you could be lucky
Oh too late!
I paid £11 for mine and £13 for partners...
Haven't heard of the places you mentioned though, are they shops or internet?

& happy shopping

You can get different qualities though - I bought a pair for £5 last year and they didn't even last me the holiday which I why I need to buy some more! (Not saying woofy that yours are bad quality, just that some are much better than others
Well, my aqua shoes arrived yesterday morning, very pleased, they are much better than the ones I bought last year.
It had a 5 % discount voucher with it, so thought I'd share it with everyone here: MSTTGC Doesn't look like there are any restrictions on it that says only I can use it looks like anyone can. http://www.ifsogo.com
