Thank you and welcome to JrNYLC!

Hi guys, thanks for all your help. On the day you leave will lacey be able to pack her sleeping bag back in her big suitcase before she goes to the airport? I'm guessing the bags will be on the bus.

No problem! Yes, Lacey will have time to pack everything in her big suitcase, She can do it before she goes to breakfast or she can keep it with her on the bus and when she gets to the airport she can find her luggage, put her sleeping bag in her suitcase while waiting to check-in. That's what I did. Yes, your child will put her suitcase in a specific spot and it will be loaded onto the bus. She'll get her suitcase when she arrives at the airport. Make sure the suitcase is easy to identify because there are tons of suitcases there! Anymore questions, feel free to ask me or PM me!

As sheeren said your child will have time to put her sleeping bag in her suitcase.Or if she doesnt have room she can take it on a carry on. I would recremend packing the smallest sleeping bag you can find.But dont send an expensive one because they do get lost.I forgot mine and it was a really expensive one.

How dressy do they need to plan to be? Will she need to take a dress for anything? I know she will need khakis and casual wear but I'm just curious about how dressy she needs to be for the professional wear. Thanks!

she wont NEED a dress but it couldnt hurt to have one...dress pants and a blouse are acceptable as is a skirt and a blouse...it doesnt have to be a dress

Thank you, Libby! That was very helpful!

Also note: Most FAs were very open so don't worry. One of my friends even wore converse and they didn't say anything.

Please keep this section for parents. Post your other helpful advice in the appropriate topics. Thanks!

They were just answering the questions of the parents...

The question was answered. Samantha made this new topic because the above was happening in the old one. Thank you.
