VIETNAM
PACKING LIST
Here is an idea of the travel items
required. Note that all the clothing items & quantities
suggested below are simply a recommendation, as it depends on the
individual.
Please keep baggage size and weight to
an amount that student is capable of carrying on their own. We suggest using a
large backpack due to uneven ground. Ensure that all LAGs are in appropriate
sized bottles for air travel.
Generally speaking, you
should pack lightly. Please remember that clothing should be appropriate for a
school trip. A daypack is ideal for any personal items such as your camera,
pullover, water, etc. that may be required during the day.
