Holy Cow...Tomorrow is the day!

Well, folks we are coming down to the wire.  Just a couple of quick things for kids and parents:

Wear your blue USA 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 when you get home from school tomorrow so you’re at your freshest when we fly out ESPECIALLY if you have PE and you’re doing the River Hawk Walk tomorrow.  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 on “The Table.” :-)

Let’s keep in touch. Once the trip begins, I will no longer be sending out these regular broadcast e-mails to parents (you may get just one or two, or maybe not).  Instead, I will be posting regular updates on the blog, Twitter, and Facebook.   Check from work, check from home, my goal is to post a trip update every 4-6 hours (probably more than that).  These links are great to share with family and friends (grandmas love my blog!).  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 rain. Be prepared for this weather. I strongly suggest caps and gloves. Weather forecasts can change, too, so be prepared for warmer weather just in case. Layer.  
Additionally, due to our schedule, we won't be able to change clothes for the play when we hit New York, so I would suggest against packing a dress for the ladies.  Something nice but practical for walking around Manhattan would be best.
 
I will probably send one final message before we leave, but if not, I will see you tomorrow in the Rio Norte front parking lot by 5:30 p.m.! Remember to park under the solar panels and NOT in the red zone. Thanks so much!
