Info from Mon 3.23

We have officially met for the last time before our departure on Friday morning. Here are some things that we talked about at the meeting...

- Spending money: There will be a breakfast on the plane, but you'll want money for snacks/food at the airport, possibly buying some at the college, and a meal out in Jamaica (count on $20-50 for this depending on what you buy to eat). The falls has a zip line for about $30 if you want to do that. Hair braiding for girls will be about $50. Also, we will go to a market if you want to buy souvenirs. Overall, we are recommending $30-200 (depending on how many "extra" things you want to do and how many souvenirs you want to buy).

- At the college: The bathroom floors are slippery so consider flip-flops for that area. No mirrors so bring your own if you want one. Levis and Browns are bringing clothes lines to hang wet things on, but you might want to bring some clothes pins for hanging your stuff. It's humid so thinner towels will dry faster than thick ones. Claire and Alli are bringing hair dryers.

- Travel advice: Sleep on Thursday at some point if possible. Even a few hours will help you feel better. Also, plan to drink lots of water during travel (even on the plane), as this will help you recover easier from traveling.

Be at school at 1:30 Friday morning. We'll have ribbon for your suitcase. Wear your GREEN MISSION SHIRT for traveling - pack the other ones.

Airport/Travel Details: You are responsible for YOUR own luggage, including your mission bag. Your travel group is your small group. This will help us account for everyone more quickly than just counting. No joking about destructive things (bombs, guns, etc.) in the airport as this can quickly lead to trouble. Take care to be calm and listen during travel.

Chapel on Wed: Group 2 is performing during elementary chapel (9:00-10:00), and Group 1 is performing during high school chapel (10:10-11:10) this Wednesday. If any parents didn't see it last week and want to come, you're welcome.

See you Friday morning! :)
