What kind of things should I put in my carry on bag for a 20 hour flight and 4 hour stop?

Malissa

So early next month I'm moving to Australia from Ireland and will be flying for approx. 20 hours with a 4 hour stop in Abu Dhabi. And I have some questions...

1~ What will be worth putting in my clear ziploc bag? Like should I put a mini shamoo in there or not bother because obviously there are no showers on the plane. Should I put my toothbrush in a separate ziploc bag or the same one? (I know the airline I'm flying with gives you toothpaste and a brush anyway)

2~ Do wipes count as a liquid and are they allowed in my carry on? Like a pack of face wipes and a pack of baby wipes.

3~ Do I have to declare hair oil, perfume and a regular sized shampoo that will be in my suitcase because they are liquids or not?

4~ Since my carry on will be above my head and I don't want to be reaching up or getting someone else to move so I can get it, can I have a little makeup bag like in front of my feet to put my hairbrush, my "monthly items", hand sanitizer etc. in?

Thanks â¤

Answer
1. Put only what you need/will use. Don't take excess stuff. Soap, shampoo, and toothpaste are found in every country. Only liquids and creams need to go into that ziplock bag.

2. Wipes are not liquids, just don't carry a ridiculous amount.

3. If its for personal use, no. Anything for personal use that isn't food, gifts, explosive, alive, etc. is exempt.

4. Yes. Most airlines will permit a carry-on bag and a smaller lap bag (to put under seat in front of you). This is usually a purse, backpack, or side bag.

need help with buying dye for shirts?

Girl_251

so i live in jakarta, indonesia and i want to start tie-dying my shirts but i have no idea where to get dye here. could anyone help? thanks!

Answer
Sorry it took so long for an answer but I have been on the hunt and this is what I found.

I looked and looked and did not find anything in your country except every listing there wanted to sell things that were dyed. I did however notice you could make your own dye and that is why I went for that. I also notices the item below and if you need help with that country I would be willing to help but if you look at the bottom of your page for the flags shown there for the different countries and click on one there should be someone there to help you.
I am terribly sorry I could not find the seller of dyes for you.

"Geographically speaking you are closest to Singapore & Australia. Both of these countries have distributors for DTG and T-jet and they are very likely to service Indonesia"

International travel with newborn (3-8 months old)?

Betty

We are from Canada and thinking of taking a one month vacation/backpacking excursion with our newborn (once she is born). I have read the best time to take them is between 3 and 8 months old.... it's something we have always wanted to do, has anyone else ever done this? (We're thinking Europe or Australia). What concerns would you have with this?

Thanks!

Answer
It is a perfect time to take them on international travels. Once they're more mobile, it will be harder to keep them entertained and happy on such trips for a few years. Shorter trips will be possible, but for something like you're describing, it's best to do it within the first year or so.

Some concerns will involve how you will carry the baby and all of your gear for travel. Backpacking may not actually be the best idea simply because of weight issues. You'll need an excellent, comfortable backpack baby carrier. It might be a better idea to plan on renting a car for your entire trip and doing it by road for the majority of the time, going on short backpacking jaunts as you go.

One thing to think about is the types of vaccinations you might want your baby to have while travelling. Some vaccinations can't be given until baby is a certain age, which would need to be taken into consideration.

You will need to get your baby's passport as soon as possible so you will have it by the time you are ready to travel.

Another consideration will be feeding baby. If you are breastfeeding, you will have the easiest job of it and you won't ever have to worry about water quality or having somewhere to heat formula. Also, if baby is less than 6 months old, she won't even need solid foods at all, which will make it all the easier. If you are formula-feeding, however, you will have to think about bottles, formula, water, etc. Another benefit to breastfeeding abroad is that your baby will be less likely to get sick.

You will need to have breastpads to soak up leaking milk while you travel. I recommend bringing 4-6 good, thick cotton or hemp pads that can be hand-washed. Wash them every day.

Diapers. Believe it or not, cloth diapers are actually easier to deal with on a backpacking trip than disposables. Why? Because cloth diapers are easy to clean, so long as you're not squeemish about it. Especially if baby isn't eating solid foods yet, even poop is easy to clean. If you're using disposable diapers, you will have to consider how you will dispose of them. If you are using cloth, you will have to consider how you will clean them. The old-fashioned, plain cloth diapers work better for such travel than the fancy all-in-ones or anything like that. You can simply hang the cloth diapers up to dry after you've washed them in a stream/hostel/hotel with a mild soap. You don't even need to soak them in anything if you wash them every day or two.

Another concern will be how you will sleep with the baby. It is a suffocation hazard to have baby in a mummy bag or anything like that, so getting warm sleepers for baby will be important.

It's a wonderful idea and a great adventure.
