Things to Know...

• If you are traveling in sweatpants or comfortable attire (which I recommend), you may want to bring a change of clothes in your backpack. We will be landing in Amsterdam. If your host family is taking you somewhere other than to your host home, you may not want to pack: jeans, t-shirt, jacket, umbrella, etc…
• You can change in the restroom (on plane or in airport). Saturday will be a very long day for some of us.
• Sleep on the plane. We have a straight-flight.
• Also remember, flip flops with be difficult to walk in (cobbled streets)and the forecast calls for rain.
• You will be doing a lot of walking for 11 days. Plan your clothing choices accordingly.
• You will all be riding bikes EVERYWHERE. Keep this in mind when packing.
