We have all been waiting to find out exactly when we're flying, and I recently received tentative flight information from USA Student Travel. We are scheduled to fly JetBlue non-stop both ways, departing Long Beach on a red-eye flight on Friday, April 1, and returning home on Thursday, April 7. Here is our schedule at this time:
1-Apr Depart Long Beach 913PM Arrive New York-JFK 521AM (2-Apr)
7-Apr Depart Washington-Dulles 545PM Arrive Long Beach 821PM
Of course, flight information is subject to change, and we won't know our exact itinerary, flight times, and flight numbers for sure until our pre-departure meeting on March 22. As more information comes in, or if anything changes, I will keep you posted.
I encourage all our East Coast Trip families to take a family walk two or three days a week. If you really feel the need to get a special new pair of shoes for the trip, get them now and start breaking them in. On every trip I've done, there's always one student asking for band-aids to patch up blistered heels from a new pair of shoes. Don't let it be you!
While on the subject of footwear, we will have one special "dress-up" day in New York City when we see our Broadway show. Again, consider a nice, but sensible pair of shoes for this event. If you wear cute little strappy high-heels, it's likely your feet will be both cold and in pain by the time the walk is over. If you're looking for a more complete list of suggested items to pack, you can check out my Suggested Packing List here: http://j.mp/ectpack. You can also find this same Suggested Packing List on http://ipptrip.blogspot.com listed under Helpful Links and Downloads. In the meantime, get out there and start walking!
