Quick Luggage/packing Reminders

One checked bag- cannot exceed 50 lbs getting there or returning.
Pack less on the way over to help yourself out.
One personal bag (messenger bag, backpack, etc.)
Can carry a coat on the plane.

In your carry on- one change of undergarments and a fresh t-shirt, just in case. "freshen up" zip loc bag, with travel size toothpaste, toothbrush, travel size deodorant, make-up if you must. It all has to fit in a quart size bag (the liquids). Bring a couple of protein bars even though we know Air France will feed you well. passport, some american money for before we depart in Houston ($10 will do) and 2-3 days Euros.

In your checked bag- make sure you have the following, in addition to your clothing:
- adapter/converter
- TSA locks so you can use your luggage like a safe
- travel alarm clock for the room
- wrist watch for on tour (remember your cell phones may or may not work)
- nail clippers/nail file (you will have toe/feet issues..I promise)
- toiletries
- hair dryer (one per room)
- two pairs of your most comfortable, worn-in, shoes in addition to the ones you wear on the plane.

Good news...our hotel is AWESOME. Preliminary reports are that students will not have to room four to a room, only two to a room. It will make a huge difference in navigating space and schedules.
