• We will need to drop our bags at the accommodation then head our so have a change of clothes in the top of your bag ready to go with walking shoes too.

Forms • Bring back the Pack of forms to sign as soon as possible so I

can get them to the Board of Trustees so we can get the trip signed off.

• Please read all the forms carefully so you know what you are signing.

Cell phones• You need to check to see if your phone model works overseas.

Just google the make and brand and USA to see if it will work. • If your phone will work you need to set it up to roam ( can be

very expensive ) or buy a new sim card when we get there and text your new number home.

• If you are roaming – switch off the data and push notifications.• There is free wifi in the accomodation and down the road at

starbucks.

Volcano day• If you are going to the volcano you will need walking shoes

and a rain coat and small back pack (school bag is fine)• If you are not going to the volcanoes then you will be doing

the tour of honolulu then to the aquarium or zoo in the afternoon.

Travel insurance• I will get a quote from the travel agent for travel insurance but

please shop around for better deals too.• Remember if you have a medical condition it must be declared

or you will not be covered for it and medical care in the USA is VERY EXPENSIVE ! Even if it is just asthma, tell them.

• If you are taking an expensive camera or computer then declare that too or it may not be covered.
