PACKING TIPS

To make your trip as easy and enjoyable as possible, we make the following suggestions for packing.

  • Plan ahead and bring only as much as you need, especially your food.

  • Pack items in several smaller boxes and bags, rather than in only a few large, heavy containers. LARGE PLASTIC TOTES CONTAINERS WILL INCURE ADDITIONAL CHARGES.

  • Have all people in your group mark ALL baggage and boxes with YOUR group's name, on a tag or tape.

  • There are some issues you may face if driving across the border into Canada from the United States, or if flying from another country. See our section on crossing the border to help avoid any problems.
