Additional Instructions
• All non-project items are to fit in one carry-on bag. Make sure you check the size with
airline requirements. There are restrictions on the amount of liquids you can take in your carry-on. Place larger sized liquid containers (non-carry-on) in a ziplock bag with your name on it. We’l put it in the checked luggage. Water bottles, even if they are empty, will need to go in checked luggage as well. • Do not pack hair dryers or other electrical appliances. • Pack light. You will almost certainly want to carry more home than you take. Missionaries may ask you to carry something to the US, and you may make some purchases.
• Washing in the sink is easy, but things do not dry quickly. Be prepared to let your
clothes get dirtier than you would in the US. • Clean out your wallet. Leave unessential keys, documents and other items at home.
