Trip Tips

Traveling is an exciting experience that will create memories to last a lifetime.  However, advance planning needs to be made to ensure a pleasant journey.  Below are tips to ensure your tour goes smoothly and safely. 

• Do not carry a lot of cash.  A.T.M. machines are accessible across the U.S.
• Try to limit yourself to one suitcase and a carry on.
• We strongly recommend staying in groups of at least four and a chaperone while touring the attractions.
• Hotel curfews are set by the teachers.  We recommend 11:00 p.m. since we start out early in the mornings.
• Do not wear expensive jewelry.  Items can be lost, damaged, or stolen. 
• Be aware of your purse and wallet.  Travel pouches are recommended.
• Keep important phone numbers with you at all times.
• Bring comfortable footwear.  Many sightseeing tours are on foot.
• It is crucial to remain punctual while on tour.  It only takes one person being late to throw off a whole day’s schedule at everyone's expense.
• When venturing out on your own or away from the group, it is wise to have the name, address, and phone number of your hotel with you.
