Thanks again!

Hi All,

It is just a matter of weeks before the first session of GYLC. I know most people are in exam mode and it is just a matter of a couple of days until exams are over and GYLC fever takes over. I remember my pre-GYLC days as though it was yesterday. So as session one get closer just a couple of tips to the lead up. Tip one alway keep water with you the DC weather is pretty hummid this time of year. Keep well hydrated since you will be on the GO.

Regards,
Vishal

also, this from a 8-year veteran of the ball diamonds, Gatorade is awesome when it's a blast furnace outside. every drugstore carries at least one Gatorade product line.

Hi,
Just to add to what Pipps said. You have to purchase your own airline tickets. You will not be accompanied by anyone unless you know someone form your school or a friend going to the same session. A staff member from GYLC will be at the selected airports to accompany you on a shuttle to the conference. You will have to walk with $40 to pay for the shuttle, and keep #40 for returning to the airport.

Regards,
Vishal

TIP OF THE DAY

A early start is best to ensure you don't get left behind. Breakfast is important to your power packed day. The average day ends at 10 pm so chat with your roommates but get enough sleep to get up at 6:15 am to have breakfast and share the bathroom with 2 persons.

Cheers
Vishal

Quick Question:

I thought the flights were included in the tuition...so do I just pick the flights and GYLC pays for them, or do I have to pay for them too?

(THIS MAY ONLY BE FOR THE EUROPEAN CONFERENCE)

Another Question. What do most people do for lunch, and about how much money is an average lunch? Is there a variety, or ?? do people just skip lunch?

Hi,
As far as I remembered I had to pay for my own flight. But I do believe that for American participants i.e. Students residing in the USA there is a fee attached to the normal cost that covers travel. To be sure contact CYLC's office. Don't take what I said for granted contact CYLC.

Hi Amanda You will have lots of options for lunch. They take you to a shopping location where there are malls and lots off restaurants so that you have lots of options to choose from. A average lunch in DC can cost any where from $3 - $20 for a decent meal depending on what kind of eater you are (Gourmet/Fast food), Lunch in New York are a bit cheaper. The Breakfast and Dinners provided at the Conference is usually Buffet style and you can live on them if you like the food. So depending on if you like the food you can skip lunch.

Dear Aries_125 (u know me better than this for me to be calling you that- lol)

But to answer your question...
(soon i'll be able to answer all Trini Vishal's questions)
Yes the people- GYLC- said that 5 students and 5 adults have to answer the FUEL questionnaire thingamaboby

Yah! I helped someone today! Now i won't go to hades!

TIP OF THE DAY

IF you are on a tight budget but, you want to shop.Electronics are best to be bought in China Town not in Times Square. You can get candies and chocolates at any CVS Pharmacy at a good prices if you want chocolates to take back home. For the girls I do believe there is a Macy's and J C Penny and Old Navy at Pentagon City Mall. I do believe they take you there on day 4 of the conference. For us Guys there is Radio Shack use to have a Circuit City and a lot of Sport stores. The stop over in Philadelphia is good site seeing and so good shopping also.

Vishal

To Nehemiah : you do know me better feel free to use my name... its all good

To Vishal : the fuel survey is a questionnaire that the scholars have to choose mentors and friends to complete on their behalf. The questions are based on the leadership potential of the scholars.

I already chose my 10 people and gave them the information to do the survey for me, thanks for the help Nehamiah.

Hey guys,
Are the rooms assigned alphabetically, my last name starts with V and my friend's starts with W. Thanks

Drew

No the rooms are not assigned alphabetically.they place you randomly.

Vishal

Hi.
Where can we wash our clothes there? Where can we wash them? Because it's almost impossible to survive 2 weeks without washing clothes

Persons should read the thread before they post new questions else you will be asking old questions....
(just a suggestion)
