Important Reminders to Keep in Mind
- Be at the Newark Airport ready to go at 2:30 AM on January 5th. This means some of you may have to leave for Newark as early as January 4th.
- Check in as a group, NOT individually. You need to find your brigade leaders, Marianne and Derek, and stay together with the group at all times.
- Pack lightly: you can wear hospital scrubs during clinic days and bring warm clothing because the nights do get chilly.
- Try to pack only a carry-on so that we can check in more bags with just medicine since only the first check-in bag is free per passenger.
- IMPORTANT: Honduras requires a $38.00 (U.S. Dollars) exiting free in CASH. So please save about $40.00 of your spending money when leaving the country. Everyone needs to pay this fee when leaving Honduras.
- Remember to follow the TSA 3-1-1 Travel Rules:
- 3-1-1 for carry-ons = 3.4 ounce (100ml) bottle or less (by volume) ; 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin. One-quart bag per person limits the total liquid volume each traveler can bring. 3.4 ounce (100ml) container size is a security measure.
- If in doubt, put your liquids in checked luggage.
