At the hotel swimming pool their rules state that you may NOT wear cut-offs. WE ARE STAYING AT A NICE HOTEL – BE VERY COURTEOUS OF OTHER GUESTS BECAUSE WE GOT A GREAT DEAL AND THEY ARE PAYING A LOT OF MONEY TO STAY THERE.

Keep your money with you at all times – not in a wallet or purse in the overhead shelves of the bus.

Do not bring ANYTHING that will break your heart if it gets lost or stolen! HISD or the Hutto Band Staff is not/will not be responsible for any personal items lost or stolen (including electronics, games & cell phones).

4. Pillow & snacks for the bus ride down and back. The bus company doesn’t allow glass containers/bottles.

5. Spending $$$$$ as desired……
Almost all of the meals are provided in the cost of the trip. You will need money for two or three lunches or snacks – on the way down & back and one meal while we are there. Basically (while in Galveston) all you’ll need is money for one meal per day (approx. $10 ea.) and souvenirs.

6. Phones – Long distance phone service will be turned off in your individual hotel rooms. Calls home will need to be made at night when we get back to the hotel and BEFORE 11pm curfew. You may bring your cell phone, but check your calling plan before
