Your medications must be in their original container and secured in a Ziploc baggie. All instruments, luggage and garment bags will be going on the truck to Florida. We will not be checking luggage at the airport (trying to save you all the luggage surcharge at the airport). It will be hot inside the truck. Pack anything that could spill onto your clothing or explode inside your luggage in Ziploc baggies to prevent soiling your clothes. You are permitted to bring a small carry-on with you to the airport.

· Remember, we are not moving to Florida, we are only going for five days. Please do not pack as though you are leaving home forever.

· Do not bring anything super-valuable on this trip (expensive jewelry, tons of cash, clothing or shoes that are expensive). You never know what could happen to your stuff. Even with the best of intentions, things can be misplaced.
