IS THERE A POOL AT THE HOTEL?
Yes, but...... it is unlikely that we will be able to use it. Most night we will return after the pool closes. On the SMALL chance that one night we return to the hotel early due to poor weather, we MIGHT have the ability to use the pool, but don't expect this! More information about our hotel can be found here.
HOW MUCH MONEY SHOULD I BRING?
Student will need to pay for meals while we are traveling to/from DC, as well as all lunches in the DC Area. Knowing we are in "tourist trap" areas, costs for food will be a little higher than normal. Depending on your child's eating habits, I would like to think that $15 per meal would be okay. We will also need food on the way home - breakfast and maybe lunch - at local rest stops along the drive. More information about meals can be found here.
CAN I BRING A BLANKET ON THE BUS?
YES - a small blanket would be fine - and could help you sleep on the bus. Just be mindful that the bus is very full - and there is not a lot of storage areas on the bus (the "overhead" area is not the biggest, not like an airplane).
LUGGAGE - CAN I BRING A BACKPACK?
You can bring ONE "carryon" bag - and a backpack could be a great choice for that! But don't bring a carry-on AND a backpack - we don't have space for that....
CAN I BRING A NINTENDO SWITCH?
Yes, but do NOT bring your dock or attempt to plug it in to the TV at the hotel.
HOW BIG OF A SUITCASE CAN I BRING?
Try to pack as efficiently as possible. You might have to carry your suitcase a distance, and up mutliple flights of stairs - so think about that when packing.
