WEATHER Weather in the Bay Area in March is very unpredictable.

Temperatures average in the low 50’s to the high 60’s, however, this can vary greatly even on the same day when going from one micro climate to another. Rain is also possible at this time of year. Be sure to bring layered clothing and wet weather gear.

MEALS / SOUVENIR COSTS World Projects suggests budgeting approximately $10 per

meal for lunch and $15-$20 per meal for dinner on own (breakfasts and two dinners are included). Suggested total for meals on own would be $55-65.

Money for souvenirs / snacks, etc. are at the discretion of each family.

Musical Instrument Insurance – NOT INCLUDED World Projects takes care to coordinate with airlines and ground transport

to assure their proper handling of musical instruments, but does not assume liability for damage to instruments that may occur during a group tour. We recommend that instrument owners establish coverage under an existing personal property insurance policy. Or, instrument owners may want to contact a company that specializes in musical instrument insurance such as Clarion Insurance at www.clarionins.com or Music Pro Insurance at www.musicproinsurance.com.
