Vacation Essentials
On our vacation to Maldives, we had a lot of fun. We enjoyed our stay in an overwater villa and we had a lot of fun at the beach. However, we should be prepared for an unfortunate event.

Emergency Essentials
Medical emergencies can arise when vacationing out of the country. In 2022, we went on a vacation to Thailand. I boarded a flight from Newark Airport to Bangkok followed by another flight to our final destination to Phuket. The journey was enthralling, it’s one of its kind to fly over the North Pole and go over Canada where you only see sheets of Ice till the eyes can see. More on it later. We checked in at the hotel in Phuket, Thailand. After spending two days, I had a high fever. We were not prepared for it and never experienced a similar situation. Going forward whenever we travel we carry emergency medicine and essentials.
On another vacation, I was swimming close to coral reefs and I got a coral reef burn. Shit Happens, Let’s get prepared for it
