During the boat ride (Thursday night), the low humidity and closeness to water will make it feel much cooler. Bring a light jacket if you get cold easily. Wear/bring comfortable walking shoes. There will be a lot of walking, especially at Natural Bridge Caverns. No sandals or open-toed shoes at the Caverns as grounds are slippery and wet.

  7. Mercado and food court At the Mercado, you may shop if your parents let you, but DO NOT BUY CONFETTI EGGS!! They are messy and cause too many problems. You have approximately 90 minutes at the River Center Mall to complete your math assignment and eat dinner. Plan accordingly and always travel with a buddy.

Obey all directives of teachers, chaperones, and hotel staff. -Your behavior is expected to be excellent at the hotel.
