ABOUT - AAACK!™ PACKS
On an otherwise wonderful trip to the Dominican Republic, I uttered a few unintelligible words one evening and then wandered into my room for the next 18 hours. Never knowing whether it was that pesky mosquito buzzing around my ankles or Wilfredo’s coffee (inside joke), the fever and lethargy that overcame me were debilitating. And, considering we were on vacation, it made it all the worse!
Luckily, a friend (who also happens to be a nurse) was well-versed in the region’s myriad of ailments, and whipped out a kit tailor-made for our trip and dosed me up with the right meds. The next morning, I made my way back to the land of the living. I was feeling much better, but more than that … I was inspired!
Enter AAACK!™ Packs, an easy-to-build, bring-it-anywhere, remedy-just-about-anything kit that will take you from “uh oh” to “awwww yeah” every time.
