Start packing now...but not too much!!
We basically had most of our personal stuff in just backpacks/carryons. Some of it was stuffed in all of our boxes full of stuff for the hospital, schools, and etc etc....be careful at the airport--guys will pick your bag up for you and carry it for you but will not leave you alone until you pay them. Sierra Nat'l Airlines has stricter baggage policies than other airlines also. Oh, and keep important things on you--maybe not your carry-on...there aren't too many rules or at least enforcement against workers going through passengers' luggage for whatever reason...they were on our flight-- taking money, etc. On another team, a laptop and digital camera were taken out of the carry-on and have not been seen since. Watch out for that too. But overall it's not as scary as it sounds, just be extra careful.[Jan. 03] Bring comfortable walking shoes!! This is a must. We also bought comfy sandals...
