NOTES:
1.
One carry-on bag plus your backpack per
person. The backpack is something you
will carry every day as we set out on adventures.
2.
Have
your wallet ready + PHOTO ID!
3.
Dress in
layers that you can shed when leaving cold SC and arriving in sunny Florida!
4.
Special
notes about hotel rooms:
a.
No room
to room visiting after 10:00 p.m.
b.
Each
day before leaving the room must be reasonably tidy.
c.
Hang up
wet things.
d.
We do not want to pay a damage fee; take care
of the room.
5.
Breakfast
will be at the hotel from Monday through Thursday. You will need $40 in $10 bills that you will
give to B’wana for certain meals. Those
meals will cost more than $10, but the trip budget will make up the difference
(and we will get only one bill from the waiter). This allows you to order whatever you want
from the menu! You will need to spend
your own money for lunch food on travel days (Sunday and Thursday) as well as
Tuesday lunch. In other words, you will need to bring about $100 for food and
souvenirs.
