__**What to pack:**__ [|Currency Exchange Site]
 * Pack light! Due to the new security advisement's in place i STRONGLY encourage all students to only pack a carry on. This will save us time in the airport and will ensure that nothing is lost. Please see the attachment for carry-on measurements for our airline. [|Baggage Info]
 * Our trip is 8 days long. You will need 8 pairs of undies and socks.You DO NOT need a new, amazingly adorable outfit for each day. Americans are the only people in the world that change their entire outfit everyday. If you don't believe me as our tour guides.
 * I suggest that you bring 3 pairs of pants, jeans are OK but can feel restrictive on airplanes, buses and trains. I strongly recommend cargo pants or kakis, but NOT sweatpants.
 * I suggest that you bring 4 different shirts and one sweat jacket or blazer.
 * I suggest that you bring only sneakers, we will be walking miles in one day! Not to mention cobblestones and cute shoes usually never mix well.
 * You will want to bring travel sized toiletries. Please make sure no liquids exceed the size limit. Please check the [|TSA Website]for this information.
 * If you have medicine you need to take while on the trip please bring a prescription for it. This should not be an issue but your prescription may be needed through some security checks.
 * Ladies:NO hair straighteners or hair dryers. Even with a converter they will blow up and could cause serious problems for our hotels
 * Cell Phones:
 * Students will have access to a phone card that they can use at any pay phone. I have heard that buying an international plan for only a month is not expensive but you would have to look into that yourself. I will have a cell phone but will have to get back to you about the number.
 * Money:
 * I encourage students to bring about $20-$50 for airport items (lunch, snacks, duty free).
 * I encourage students to bring about $50-$75 in cash to convert and use as "walking around money." Banks will charge a fee to take out cash abroad but students may want to use check cards once we get there in stead of cash, that is up to you. Please notify your bank before you leave if you plan on using your card abroad.
 * If you plan to use a pay ahead credit card or AAA card please make sure you have activated it before leaving and have as passwords or pins you need to access cash abroad.
 * Students will only need money for lunch and shopping. I estimate that students will need about $200-$500 in spending money. But if you know your child doesn't eat much and has no interest in shopping they can get by on a lot less.
 * Tipping:
 * EF does not collect tips for our tour director, tour guides or bus drivers.
 * I would like to collect ALL tip money in US currency before leaving.
 * The Tour director tip is about $6/day.
 * We will have a number of other tour guides who should be tipped about $2/day. I estimate will have about four or these =.
 * We are also expected to tip the bus driver a dollar each. I estimate we will have at least two bus drivers =.
 * Total Tip money needed before leaving =.
