I think quite a few people have been overseas and found it a good experience.
There is a thread about what to have in your bag for hospital and I will go see if I can link you to it.
I would say some dry mouth spray..I kept having to rinse my mouth out as I had a long wait (longer than it was meant to be) before I went down for my op and I was parched.

Something to help pass the time as the waiting can be boring. I took a book my ds and some puzzles, but could really only concentrate on the book. Some sanitary towels as so many people find their period arrives early. And dry mouth spray xx

Strepsils! They put a tube down my throat during surgery and it got a bit sore during the night. I only had 1 strepsil and it shifted the soarness.

Melt in the mouth ibruofen as the disolvable pain killers they give you are vile!
