Re: Convention -

[Guest guest]

- I just counted and has flown on about 15 separate

flights in the last year alone. Not ONCE have we ever been asked

for the actual prescription. One time they said the label on

the " box " is fine. I still carry the prescription with me, though.

We have found the easiest thing to do is to pack meds/GH/syringes

in an insulated thermos bag, we tape a big label on it that

says " MEDICATION/SYRINGES - Must be refrigerated " and then it is not

like we are hiding anything. You shouldn't have any trouble.

Hi ,

Dayna Carney, Alyssa's mom, handled the scholarship fund last year. I'm not

sure if she's doing that again this year or not, but her email address is

daycarney@...

You might want to try contacting her, and seeing if she can advise you.

Hope this helps!
