Program Updates & Reminders

Program Updates

• On September 6 we are delighted that the Stanford Alumni Club of Mexico City has offered to arrange a panel discussion with local journalists which will replace our original panel discussion. 

• We had previously included dinner on Saturday, September 7; however, we were able to secure the restaurant, Nueve Nueve, for an extended private opening on Sunday, September 8. You will now have a free evening on Saturday, September 7. If you need help changing dinner reservations you previously made, please contact me at Lduede@stanford.edu. 

• The internal flight to Oaxaca was changed by the airlines and due to the later flight, we can no longer visit the Convento de Cuilapam. We apologize for the change.

• Finally, we have rearranged the schedule slightly to take advantage of museum opening times, etc., but nothing else has been eliminated or changed.

Reminders

• If you have not already, be sure to check your passport to make sure it is valid for 3 months after your return date to the U.S. and that it has at least 1 completely blank visa pages (not including the amendment pages at the back of the passport).  

• Get necessary immunizations and prophylaxes (refer to the health and medical section in the Destination Details page of this microsite).

• We ask you to be mindful of your activities in the time leading up to your trip and to do your best to join the trip healthy. We want a safe and enjoyable trip for all, and we appreciate your help in making this effort.

• The tap water in Mexico is OK to brush teeth, but not OK to drink. In an effort to eliminate single use plastic, we will provide filtered water in large jugs to refill personal bottles.

• Notify your credit card company that you will soon be traveling, so that any significant charges you make will not be questioned or put on hold.
