Well, folks we are coming down to the wire. Just a couple of quick things for kids and parents:
Wear your blue Nations Classroom shirt tomorrow. We will be wearing this shirt for over 24 hours before we arrive at our first hotel. For this reason, I STRONGLY urge that you take a shower within the hour before you arrive at Rio. We’ll all be grateful that everyone is fresh and clean when we have to share an airplane and a bus together.
Do a final packing check. Batteries and chargers are the most frequently forgotten-at-home accessories on this trip. Go through your whole packing list and check and double check. I already have mine laid out and ready to go.
Let’s keep in touch. Once the trip begins, I will no longer be sending out these regular broadcast emails to parents (you may get just one or two, or maybe not). Instead, I will be posting regular updates on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook (mostly Facebook). Check from work, check from home, my goal is to post a trip update everyday (hopefully multiple times per day). These links are great to share with family and friends (grandmas love my Facebook page!). Just a reminder that there are a number of ways to follow the trip:

Check the weather lately? If you've been watching the weather, you’ll see some very typical East Coast weather for early spring: cold and some rain. Be prepared for this weather. I strongly suggest a small umbrella, caps and gloves. Weather forecasts can change, too, so be prepared for warmer weather just in case. Layer.
Additionally, as I already mentioned, there is no need to "dress up" for our Broadway play. The weather might be cold and wet, plus we'll be touring all day before we make our way to the show. Something nice but practical for walking around Manhattan would be best.
I will see you today in the Rio Norte front parking lot by 6:00 p.m.!
Remember to park under the solar panels and NOT in the red zone and to bring your medication foldable along with any personal medications in a Ziploc bag.
Additionally, I will be weighing luggage bags before they get on the buses, so be sure to be under 45 lbs.
Thanks so much!
