Grad Trip - What to Bring

Hi everyone!
I've posted on the "parent" version of my blog, a summary of what we discussed on Friday about the upcoming Grad Trip.  Click here to see it.

I've generated a list of "recommended things to bring" - there's also a list of "what NOT to bring".... hopefully these will help you when you're packing.  Remember, you're carrying your own bags, and you'll need to move all of your stuff in one trip.  Don't pack too heavy!
What to Bring:
  • comfortable clothes (shorts, shirts, pants)
  • clothes for dinner at the Skylon Tower
  • comfortable shoes for walking AND shoes for walking to and from the pool (flip flops will be okay for this, but are not recommended for during the day/walking around Niagara Falls use)
  • bathing suit (and a plastic bag to bring it home in)
  • money (wallet, purse)
  • camera (not phone)
  • toiletries (don't forget a toothbrush and deodorant!) 
  • sunscreen/sunglasses
  • lunch for the first day (if you don't want to buy it) 
  • hat
  • a few snacks for in your room (no popcorn - not allowed to pop it in the rooms)
  • pjs
What NOT to bring:
  • cellphones
  • hair dryer (they're in the rooms)
  • electronics (e.g., laptop, DVD player, etc) - iPods/mp3 players are okay
  • too much money
  • popcorn for rooms
  • towel - they will be provided for you
I might add to these lists as the week progresses - check back often!! If you have any suggestions of things I should add, let me know :)

Can't wait for the trip!
