Post Summer Camp Reminder
Just a some quick reminders for those of you going to Summer Camp in the Rockies.

-Get to the airport early commensurate with the TSA/Airline recommendend travel guidelines, especially if you're checking bags.
-If you're flying Southwest, print your boarding pass 24 hours in advance of flight departure.
-double check baggage policies/charges with your airline.
-verify travel arrangements from airport to the camp (and from camp to the airport).
-make sure you bring confirmation numbers and details of any travel/hotel arrangements you may have made with you, sometimes hotels etc lose things, but with a confirmation number they're more likely to help you.
-weigh your bags ahead of time (a bathroom scale works, or the scales at Publix).

Things to bring:
-weapons (refer to them as "dancing sticks" at the airport unless you want to have a close and personal "interview" with Bubba, the friendly TSA agent, consider consolidating/sharing a weapons bag for travel).
-sun block, hat and sunglasses (the weapons classes are typically outside).
-bathing suit and towel (the hot springs are great).
-Comfortable walking/hiking shoes for those rare occaisions when you're not training.
-If you have any intent at all to go white water rafting on the off day, bring some shoes you don't mind getting wet.
-Cane tip protector for your jo if you bring it and want to use it while hiking ($5-$20 at the local drugstore).
-Camera.

If I manage to come up with anything else, I'll post it.
