Road Trip Details

OK we are a few days away from the Road Trip! Here's more details and packing info!

• We will be back in Birmingham sometime Sunday morning, at least in time for Kristin to be at the Baccalaureate service at SMIC and Graduation that afternoon.
• Pack only in ONE BAG = one bag that you can carry yourself! When we get to NYC we will park in New Jersey and take the train and subway into Manhattan, so you need to be able to get your stuff thru several train and subway stops and lots of walking!

Here's some things you DO need to pack:

• Bath towel and/or washcloth: we are staying with the Owens 2 nights so this will cut down on Mrs. Owen's laundry after we leave. Also, the apartment in NYC provides very limited linens
• Pillow: again with the sleeping arrangements, there may not be a pillow available for everyone
• Good walking shoes: we will take the subways alot, but the BEST way to see these cities is by foot!
• Rain gear/small umbrella/rain jacket: the forecast calls for chances of rain everyday. And trust me, when it starts raining in NYC, everyone rushes to the small stores and snaps the umbrellas up quickly!
