About the Travel/Flight:
- If check in is overweight, take the print case as a carry on. Prints are heavy!
- Don't buy water. Starbucks has them for free.
- If toiletries are allowed in carry on, bring in small amount. Can split it between two people if it helps. Or check it in. (Cecilia had to throw away some make up
Sorry!)
- Don't pack food/frames/supplies --can get them from Dollar Store, London Drugs, Safeway (EDIT: This was back when it was at MacEwan. Location has since changed.)
- Bring speaker and laptop
- Make sure the accommodation has utensils, hot water, TV, etc. (we literally only had a room, a bed, and a table)
Would you go again?
- YES! ABSOLUTELY! If time, work, and budget permits.
