Weekend Update

Hopefully everyone has started packing. Don't forget to take layers, layers, layers. The weather next week looks like it will be sunny and in the 70s (let's cross our fingers and hope that's what the month will look like). I suggest jeans and t-shirts and for the mornings a sweatshirt or light jacket.

You WILL be doing a lot of walking--make sure your shoes are comfortable.

Don't forget that you cannot get through security at the airport with any liquids (more than 11 oz) in your carry-on. That means you cannot bring a bottled water or a large contact solution, or even a large canister of peanut butter through the checkpoint. You can pack peanut butter and such in your checked luggage.

Small amounts of liquid items such as eyedrops/small hand sanitizers/anything under 11 oz can be brought through, but you must have them sealed in a ziplock baggy (or one of the bags they provide at security for you).

Wear shoes that are easy to slip off at the airport---they will run them through security, too.

I suggest no jewelry when flying. Just pack it--you can put it on later.

You can buy a bottled water at the airport after security if you're really thirsty.

If I think of more, I will post again later.
