1 Week Until Departure!!!


Do you have everything you need????

Start making a list of everything that you are going to want and need to take with you on our trip. Your handbook should have a sample list of things that you should pack.

Here are a few things you need to remember between now and next Monday.
  • Passport; we will be collecting these as you get on the bus on July 7.
  • Insurance Cards.
  • Pack your suitcase.
  • Bring some sort of water bottle: you will need it!
  • In form your bank you will be overseas for the next 13 days.
  • Some sort of backpack to carry things during the day.
  • Camera: make sure it is labeled with your name. Also bring batteries and memory card.
  • One suitcase (less than 40 pounds when packed and cannot measure more than 54 inches) with luggage tags.
  • Attire: Please wear your P2P polo and khakis. (No shorts!) You must wear closed toe shoes on the place. Remember a jacket and a change of clothes in your carry on in case we have delays. Also, please keep all medications in your carry on.
  • 3 small gifts for our bus driver, delegate manager, and "dinner" home stay family.
  • Power converters: I bought mine at Staples but you can also get them at Radio Shack.
  • Enthusiasm and a positive attitude for an amazing journey!!
I am sure I am forgetting some things but you get the point here! Don't wait until the last minute to pack and get ready.
