    Departure: Wednesday 7:30 am Terminus Maheux (DON”T BE LATE)
    Return: Sunday 11 pm Terminus Maheux

    Students are allowed one suitcase to check on the bus. They may bring a backpack to keep with them while traveling. Please remember we will be gone for 5 days…not 5 weeks. Pack accordingly.

    In your backpack you must have:
    □ Health card
    □ Student ID (to qualify for reduced student fares)

    □ Cab fare to University residence (approx. $5-$8 each)

    In your suitcase you should have:
    □ PJs
    □ Toiletries
    □ Medication (Advil etc.)
    □ Warm clothes (bring layers as the weather can be unpredictable)
    □ Walking shoes (we will be walking a lot so comfortable is important)
    □ Rain jacket / umbrella
    □ Camera
    □ Cup, bowl, plate, cutlery
    □ Snacks for the residence kitchen


    Money
    Ø We will be taking taxis from the Voyageur Bus Terminal in Ottawa to the University Residence therefore students need funds for taxis. We will be traveling 3 to a taxi and all fares will be split equally. We will also be using buses sometimes so bring $30 for transportation.
    Ø Students should budget approximately $150 for food depending upon whether they choose to purchase food and prepare it in the Residence (sandwiches etc.) or more if they wish to eat out in restaurants for each meal.
    Ø We will be going to an English movie - $20
    Ø Spending money is up to each individual.

    Total: $200
