Travel insurance

Hello everyone,

I have attached the travel insurance policy documents, please read them if you are ordering the travel insurance. If you have a pre existing medical condition or items over $1500 in value then this is very important as you may not be covered ( a lens and camera is seen as one item).

Please look here first = http://www.slideshare.net/takageo/hawaii-trip-travel-insurance

The Policy document is here =  Leisure Policy Wording

The Extra wording is here = Supplementary Policy Wording- travel insurance ( read if you have pre existing medical conditions )

30 days to go !

Aloha Parents and Students.

As of today it is only 30 days till we leave for Hawaii !

If you have not given me a new passport copy (if yours has been updated) please do so.

You must have your ESTA done by the end of this week so that we are all able to get into Hawaii on arrival.

Payments

This week your final installment of $500 should be paid then the last $200 needs to be paid by the end of the month.

The total cost of the trip is $3200. ($3550 if you are going to the big island)

Meeting

We will have a pre trip meeting for parents and students on 1st July at 6:30pm in the school library. At least one parent and their student need to be here to go over the expectations and organisation of the trip.

Glasses

If you wear glasses and cannot do without them please ensure you have a spare pair or a copy of your prescription information in case they get lost/broken and need to be replaced ( this happened last year )

Contact info

I will post a contact phone number on the blog tgshawaii.wordpress.com once we arrive.

I will also update the blog each night.

Phones and Wifi

There is free wifi in the hotel so students will be able to use skype/facetime/viber to be in contact. This also means that Data (and push notifications) can be switched off on smartphones once we are about to board the plane.

Money.

I have found in the past that taking some cash and then taking more out once we are there has been the best way if you don’t want to take your whole budget in cash. Cash can be left in the teachers room safes in a named bag.

Things to get organised this month.

2 x Plug adapter and 4 plug multi board for each room (students need to decide who will get them for their room)

Sort out roaming on your cellphone (and data) or decide to get a pre pay sim with USA number when we arrive.

Travel insurance organised. ( and any medication you need ) House of travel can do travel insurance for our group for $140 each ( please let me know if you want to order this and i will do a group purchase )

Decide how you are taking money and order your US dollars

If you have any further questions, please get in touch.

Mahalo
