I truly enjoy answering those kinds of questions, so don't ever hesitate to ask about things you're wondering about about our trip. When we run out of toiletries, we do buy local stuff, which is usually very similar to what is sold in the States, but it's more fun, because I have things in my toiletry bag with labels in a dozen languages. :) (I never have been loyal to particular products, even before we were traveling, because I really enjoy trying lots of new and different things, so this doesn't seem like a hardship.) I have not run out of any essential oils yet, but I will probably be sad when I do, and depending on what I run out of and when, I may ask my family to send me some or bring me some when they visit. I use them a bit more sparingly while we're traveling, to make them last longer. The main ones we've used are DigestZen for a few little tummy upsets, Ginger in the USB diffuser to combat car sickness, Deep Blue for a serious stiff neck and Past Tense for headaches. Thankfully, we have mostly been healthy and haven't had anything too crazy come up. As for our mail, we are using a service called Scan Mailboxes, that allows us to receive all of our mail electronically. It is really fantastic, and we wish we would have been using it all along to eliminate the ridiculous piles of paper that are always around when you are collecting mail the traditional way. Keep the questions coming! :)Mandi Wattshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07017498069965537129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20399950.post-67386493535111916342015-07-08T17:32:53.934-05:002015-07-08T17:32:53.934-05:00Ok, I get nervous when you don't post for a fe...Ok, I get nervous when you don't post for a few days so I'm glad you explained the internet situation! LOL! Also a few things I've been wondering about......When you run out of toothpaste, deodorant, etc., do you just buy something local??? And what about running out of your essential oils. Also, who is getting your mail? And has anyone gotten sick from eating all the different foods? All things a nosey cousin needs to know!!!!
