Yes, the granules dissolve well, especially if you can find ho****er.  Good luck to you.

I definitely will keep in touch and let you know how everything goes.

 Do the granules dissolve completely? And thanks I will take your advice never heard of the chap stick but will definitely take that as well. I could see were we are going to need that seince we will not be able to keep as hydrated as we usually do.

A lot of people suggest chap stick and Gas X strips.  I would suggest those things and one addition.  When I had my surgery, my coordinator suggested chicken granules, which you can find at just about all large grocery store chains.  Since you cannot carry on liquid and need to drink broth both on your first trip and return trip, you can buy a bottled water behind security at the airport and mix it with the chicken granules to make broth.  It helped me a lot.  Hope this helps.  Good luck to you.

I am getting ready to book for the end of May with Quiones.  We are looking at flights right now.  Please let me know in detail how everything goes.  I am nervous, but finally after about 2 years of thinking about it I am going to do it.  Any info you have will help me prepare.
