Traveling is a constant learning experience. We take in a lot of history, culture, and/or science on each trip because we want students to see and do as much as possible. Although it may be tempting to take a break or opt out of an activity, we encourage everyone to remain actively involved. Take advantage of all the experiences the day has to offer!
Traveling often requires flexibility and patience. A road may suddenly close or the weather may take an expected turn. Come prepared—ready and willing to adapt as needed.
After ensuring personal safety, maintaining respect is key to a pleasant trip. Remember that you are a guest at your destination. Demonstrate respect for yourself, your leaders/coordinators, guides, and the local culture.
“Mike and Mary W. were a great team. It is so great how your company handles all the hassle of a field trip. Teachers enjoy field trips when the paperwork, scheduling, etc. is taken off their plates. Thank you for being so great!”
Mr. Kimeron Puckett, Shallowford Falls Elementary School, Chattanooga

Please review the following guidelines for students and chaperones attending the upcoming field trip with The Travel Store. Clear communication of these expectations will ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all. (Also review the specific sheet “Important Guidelines for a Safe & Enjoyable Motor Coach Ride” enclosed in your Education Packet.)

Also check your airline-specific website for policies and guidelines for air travel and packing.
Does your trip include travel to Cumberland Island, Georgia?
An additional list of recommendations will be enclosed in your Education Packet.
Recommended: One small, personal carry-on bag and one large piece of luggage.
Do not overpack! Also refer to school dress codes. A common error is to take too many clothes and unnecessary toiletries. Each student MUST be able to carry his/her own luggage. Usually one suitcase and one carry-on bag is sufficient. Remember to use resealing Ziploc-style bags to hold items that could leak.
PLEASE NOTE THIS REMINDER FOR YOUR HOTEL STAY: Courteous and responsible behavior should be maintained in the hotel at all times. Running and loud noise as well as in-room “gymnastics” will not be permitted. Room service, pay TV, video game hook-ups, long-distance phone calls, plus any other charges are not allowed. Safety guidelines will be in place as announced by teachers. Students may not leave hotel rooms unaccompanied by a chaperone. Security guards will intercede as necessary. Any damages to hotel rooms/property will be the sole financial and behavioral consequence for the student.
