IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
PASSPORT: Your passport is the most important item you will pack for international travel. It’s important that you carry it with you at all times. You may want to consider specialized wallets/passport holders that will help you keep it safe and secure throughout your trip. You will also want to make color copies of your passport just in case it gets lost/misplaced on your trip. Make two copies of your passport. Put COPY #1 in your carry-on bag that you will have in your possession. Give COPY #2 to a family/friend that will be staying home in the states. This ensures that you at least have a copy in case your passport is misplaced.
PACKING (Carry-On): Passport and color copy, all prescription medicine (must be in original container), toothbrush, deodorant, contacts/glasses, changes of clothes, snacks for travel, small bottle of hand sanitizer (must be 3 oz or less and in quart size ziplock bag), and headphones (flights typically have movies). Make sure to pack money in more than one location.
PACKING (Checked Baggage): All participants will be allowed one checked piece of luggage. However, luggage fees may apply. You will be responsible for any luggage fees. There is a 50 lb weight limit. If your bag is over 50 lbs, you will personally pay for the charges. Make sure all scissors/tweezers/razors, etc are packed in checked baggage. Any liquids over 3 oz must be packed in your checked bag (sunscreen, bug spray, shampoo, etc). It is always a good idea to pack liquids in large ziplock bags in case they spill during travel. Make sure each of your bags are marked with your personal contact information in case they are lost. You may want to consider a copy of your flight itinerary or passport in your checked bag to make it easier to return in case it is lost.
