16 days until Ecuador

We have 16 days until we leave for Ecuador! 

Refer to your packing list to see which items you still need to purchase.

Some additional reminders to include the following: 

- Sunscreen (Mrs. Shuey shared THIS LINK for eco-friendly sunscreens) 
- Anti-seasick pills/patches (check with your doctor) for the boat rides to the islands (2+ hrs on a boat)
- Reusable Water Bottle
- Jacket for the cool mornings
- Eco-friendly Insect Repellent
- Swim suits  
- Hiking boots (or another possibility is to opt for sneakers that are trail sneakers and waterproof)
- Malaria pills (if your doctor recommended them)
- Rain slicker or umbrella
- Water shoes (or old sneakers that you don't mind getting soaked) for the whitewater rafting excursion
- Lightweight (breathable) long pants (option: zip off legs) and long-sleeved shirt(s) for walks in the jungle.
- Hand sanitizer

Do you know where your passport is at this moment? Remember, in Ecuador, your passport will be your BFF.

Have you called your credit card/bank or notified them online that you will be traveling outside of the US from July 1-11?

If you are taking prescription medicine along with you, is the prescription filled and in it's original container?

Have you told your mom and/or dad lately how thankful you are that you are able to go on this trip?
REMINDER: Meet at the HS parking lot (in the back) at 8:30 am on July 1.

If you plan to take the Amtrak train from Philadelphia to Elizabethtown on July 11, please let me know. (Our Amtrak group has grown to 7 and we have room for more if the train is more convenient for you and your family!)
