[yavenay]

So now that I am finally in a position to semi-retire, I am looking forward to being able to travel. My goal is to do slow travel where I go somewhere for a minimum of 30 days. I plan on doing this several times a year.

Of course I am taking my baby with me wherever possible but I am a little worried about air travel. She hates the car and will only go about 20 minutes in the car before she starts whining and sometimes she even vomits. What do I do if we are in the air and Duchess starts freaking out? Do I get sedatives for her? What if they wear off while we are in the air? How do I deal with her if she becomes stressed out. I plan on taking a short trip with her to see how she does but I won't have any idea how she will behave on longer flights.

Secondly how do you guys handle food? Duchess is on Merrick's limited ingredients because of her colitis. Obviously I don't want to have to carry a month's worth of food but what if Merrick's doesn't ship to the country I am visiting? I plan on doing Airbnb for my accommodations. Do I send a month's worth of food ahead of time? I don't want to take a chance on changing her diet while in a foreign country as this could cause her colitis to flare up and I definietly do not want her to poop bloody diarhhea in someone else's house.


Leaving her here would not really be an option as I will not have anyone to take care of her for that long and of course there is no freakin way I am giving her away so I can travel so I will need to find solutions to this.....wherever I go, my baby goes. My stepmom will be taking care of my cat while I am gone because she absolutely loves cats but I don't want to burden her with two pets.
