• Airline Info:

• We return the following Sunday.  We arrive in Calgary at ~12:30 (noon)
• For those of you brining digital camera's - Bryan is bringing his laptop for picture storage.  But...
• Please bring your software install CD so we can access your camera (unless you've already done this).
• We have ~5 gigs of storage space, so don't go too crazy with the picture taking (we have 5 or 6 digicams coming out)
  
• Menu:
• We've planned a menu for the first few days, we can plan the rest while we're there.
• All breakfasts: cereal, toast, bagels (i.e. fast and easy).  The first day we are there we'll be eating breakfast at a restaurant as we won't have had an opportunity to go shopping yet.

• Stuff you may want to bring but forgot to pack:

• Suntan lotion
• Hat/sunglasses
• Beach towel
• Books for the plane
• FRS radios
• Notes on film:
• DO NOT put film in your checked bagage - the x-ray machines they use will ruin your film.
• Carry your film in your carry-on.  The x-ray machines used for this luggange are a lot less powerful and won't ruin your film.
• If you are super-paranoid you can requiest a visual inspection of the film
• We have decided that we'll cover the cost of making photo CD's from these pictures ($4.00 per roll of film, split evenly between everyone).
• This will be done in reasonable amounts - don't expect us to cover the cost of 10 rolls of film per person!
