It also helps to know the generic names of medication that you may think you’ll need. I needed an antihistamine while in Japan and the pharmacist had no idea what Benadryl was (but they had no problem finding diphenhydramine for me).

Haha I came here to point that out, although I realized I truly can’t remember how many times I’ve been to Toronto so I can’t throw too much shade. But that didn’t involve a 15 hr flight!

The first thing to do is not fly. Go by train and boat.
