Hello travelers and families!
With 9 days left before our trip I wanted to make sure to update you on latest deadlines and info:
Tip money: $72 per traveler is due to your teacher leader by Monday the 18th. No exceptions!
Dietary issues: I have two known food allergies, 3 Vegetarians, and 1 pescetarian. That's it right?
Our guide is planning for us to honor no meat on Good Friday and we are all set for Easter Sunday Service in Paris for those who wish to attend. Dress nicely but comfortably as we are off and running directly after.
He is also able to set up some other interesting extra opportunities for us -- I'll keep you posted.
LUFTHANSA: All travelers with dietary needs should call Lufthansa personally with flight number and time 48 hours in advance of our departure. They rarely if ever serve fish in the economy section of a plane so keep that in mind.
We will meet at Terminal B (Tom Bradley) at LAX. This Terminal is between Terminals 3 and 4. Plan to arrive at 12:30PM at the latest to insure we all get through security together. Bring snacks or money for buying them during our wait time.
Backpack options for comfort:
While the plane has in-seat TV's with lots to do you may want to bring along these things:
- Book or magazines
- Journal, pen, and glue stick
- Headphones
- MP3
- chapstick, handsanitizer, creme (long flights are very drying)
- Shoes that are easy to get on and off (sneakers are fine but socks and slip-ons are better. You will need your good walking shoes on the top of your suitcase to switch to once in Rome.)
- Eye covers for sleeping
- Ear Plugs
- Neck pillow ( plane will provide pillows and blankets but can run out depending on number of people on flight)
Dry Snacks ( remember you cannot bring liquids through security beyond your clear quart toiletry bag -- so no water bottles or soft drinks)
