There's no such thing as a vacation from minor injuries and ailments, so a well-stocked first-aid kit is essential to have on hand. You can buy a prepackaged kit or make your own by packing the following items in an old lunch box:

Adhesive bandages in various sizes, adhesive tape, and gauze pads

Antacid

Antibacterial gel for washing hands without water

Antibacterial ointment

Antidiarrheal medicine

Antihistamine or allergy medicine

Antiseptic

Antiseptic soap

Pain relief medicine — for children and adults

Cotton balls and/or swabs

Cough medicine and/or throat lozenges

Motion sickness medicine

Fingernail clippers

First-aid book or manual

Moleskin for blisters

Ointment for insect bites and sunburn

Premoistened towelettes

Thermometer

Tissues

Tweezers and needle

For travel, I also keep Visine, a travel-size bottle of tear-free baby wash and a shake-and-squeeze cold pack. Also, I clearly mark on the top and bottom of the bottle my child's name on the children's pain reliever and a big "NO" on the adult's.
