Hi everyone,
Over the course of our trip to Guilin I will be posting daily updates about our trip in a travel blog. The blog is a separate site than our WordPress sites and can be accessed by clicking on the link below. I will be posting information as well as pictures so make sure to check to see what we have been up to!

Grade Six Guilin Trip 2012
What to Bring
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Our Guilin experience is only a short few weeks away. Below is a suggested list of items students will need to bring. Students will be responsible for their own belongings, therefore we ask that students treat their belongings responsibly and/or do not bring valuable items on the trip.
Students will be wearing their formal T.I.S School uniform to and from Macau. For the remainder of the time, students should be wearing light and casual clothing that is comfortable. All items are required to be packed in ONE small suitcase to be checked. Students should also have a small backpack to carry onto the plane and for day trips. Each of these bags should be manageable and should have the student’s full name, address, and phone number attached.
Necessary
____ Travel Identification Documents (Macau ID, China ID, Hong Kong ID, valid Passport, valid China visa, any other pertinent travel documents that you require)
____ T.I.S Standard Uniform (Not P.E. Uniform)

As the weather in the region can change quickly, please pack accordingly.
