Notes

All meals listed on the itinerary are paid for.  Students will need money for snacks and souvenirs.

Remind students back for layers.  There is about a 50% chance of rain so an umbrella would be wise (allowed as a carry on after checked at security).  Hopefully there will be time to swim at least of the nights, so pack a swimsuit.

We will not be able to change clothes before the Broadway theatre, so it is not necessary to pack nice clothes.

Finally, if students are bringing a backpack, they need to be aware that there are several places in DC where they must pass through a security gate.
