Going to Aruba in May ?s on packing meds

I am going to Aruba for a 2 week vaca in May and am wondering how I should pack my medicine.
I am presently taking VSL#3 DS which needs to be cold, so i thought about buying one of those small holders that diabetics use for their medicine which keeps medicine cold for many hours, but don't know if I can just throw it in my bag or tell tsa about it before hand, also I plan on taking probably at least 10 bottles of mesalamine enemas and canasa suppositories (just in case) although i will probably be using the canasa daily, should i just pack these in my luggage and not worry about them.

Thanks all for your help, looking forward to a vacation but am concerned about being in a foreign country with my condition.

1. You should pack your meds, but it's not worth it to try to take the enemas. They will just throw them away, especially since you are going to a foreign country.
2. When you do go, pack some safe food with you, I travel A LOT, but I never leave without a jar of peanut butter. Never drink any tap water from any country, and don't eat anything washed in the water.

Don't be afraid of the tap water in Aruba, it is all distilled.
Fruits and veggies could be from anywhere so that is another story.
Aruba is very nice and not a third world country, it was a Dutch colony.
If you like beer try some Balashi the Dutch pilsner of Aruba.
Been there twice.

They are not going to throw away your enemas. Don't tell people that. Some rely on this stuff to make it through the day.

I have been out of country many times and usually take 12-14 of them in big baggie. I also cut the prescription label off the box and put in bag with them. I put them in my checked luggage bag because they take up so much space.

We went to the Bahamas over x-mas. I put all my meds (script and OTC) in a big zip lock bag and put them in my carryon. I wanted them w/ me in case my luggage got lost.

For peace of mind you can verify the rules for what's allowable on the air carrier's website.
When traveling, I've always taken meds along with copies of prescriptions.
If you're worried about losing non-carry-on luggage, you could pack 1/2 of enemas in each.

Of more concern to me when traveling is being careful with money and documents.
Recently purchased Identity Protection neck stash and a pouch that straps around the waist. Brand name Belle Hop. Made with a material that blocks RFID signals.

They protect against electronic pickpocketing and identity theft.
Made for carrying passports, travel docs, credit cards and cash.

Also be sure to make photocopies of the above in case of loss or theft.
A friend of mine just returned from Aruba. Had great time.
