Top Trip Tips from Family & Friends

Mom and Dad: "Start by asking your parents for help. They can show you how to make a checklist of everything you need. If you follow the checklist carefully, you won't be missing anything once you get to where you're going."

Brianna: "ALWAYS look your best, like me, of course. Pack plenty of clothes - you never know who you'll run into. A famous director might see you and want to cast you in a film. Remember to pack for the weather. Bathing suits and cool sunglasses for the tropics, or an awesome ski jacket if it's going to be cold."

Bethany: "Don't forget your toothbrush. I forgot mine once and we couldn't get another one until the next morning. My sisters were making nasty jokes about hamster breath!!"

Jessica: "I always pack my inhaler. Remember to bring along any medicine that you need. It's hard to fill prescriptions when your doctor is in another city."

Natalie: "Bring paper and pens and send me a ton of letters!"

Zach: "Yo! Portable video games - exercise your gaming skills!"

Ms. Bunder: "Keep a journal of your trip so you won't forget the best and worst moments. I'll give you extra credit if you show it to me when you get back!"

Eva: "Be friendly - you might make new friends or find a pen pal!"

Grandma Emma: "Traveling can sometimes be a little boring. Be sure to pack a few favorite games or toys to keep you entertained - and don't forget snacks! You can make and decorate your own Travel Kit!"
