Rain Suit
For fall trips a rain suit is a recommendation, since September and October can be wet months.
If you are not planning on going out side much, and not doing excursions that might expose you to the elements, then a rain poncho might be enough.
Rain Pancho
If you are planning on staying on a bus, or not walking much outside, then a rain poncho like this might be a substitute for the rain suit.
This is a pack of 5 and should be enough for a short cruise tour. They are light and will fit in a pocket, purse, or backpack.
Fleece Jacket with Hood
Depending on how cold you get, we think a fleece jacket with a hood is a good choice.
It can be layered underneath a raincoat, and the hood will let you keep your ears warm.
Waterproof Gloves
Waterproof gloves are a good option if you are planning on doing much outdoors.
When it is cold and rainy, keeping your hands warm and dry is an important factor in being comfortable.
Sketchers Waterproof Boots
Cheryl loves the fit and feel of these boots. They have very good traction, and they keep her feet warm, which is a challenge for her when it is wet and cold outside.
Scooter Pancho
When it is raining outside, and you want to be outside, a scooter pancho is a great way to protect your device.
Typically they will also have enough room to protect your basket and what you are carrying.
These work good on the airplane to watch videos on a device, plus they work well for a cell phone or computer.
I installed this on my wife's wheelchair on our Panama Canal cruise, and in one port we traversed some very bumpy terrain. This kept my gimbal with my action camera mounted steady.
This is our favorite tripod for pics with us together on trips. It's lightweight but stable enough to hold either camera.
This is our 2nd Delsey bag. It has two unevenly sized compartments, only one side zippers shut. It has spinner wheels. This bag has held up really well through our last 3 cruises, and the associated flights.
We purchase the small travel tubes in bulk. They are much cheaper than buying them at the grocery store, and if you lose one, it is not a big deal.
This is Ken's pill minder. It is large enough to hold his meds and vitamins. Be sure to take a photo of your med bottles in case you need an unexpected refill on your trip.
Cheryl has this folding rollator that collapes into a very small footprint and it comes with a travel case. This makes it easy to take on an aircraft when she thinks she will need it.
This is Cheryl's med minder. She loves the small size per compartment. Using 1 compartment a day this holds med for a whole month. The small size is perfect for discreetly taking your meds to meals.
We purchased these for ourselves and our friends who are traveling with us. This size will work for both the wide luggage tags and the narrow ones.
We bought these locks for use on some of our suitcases which we no longer have the key to the lock. They worked well and held up well.
