Packing tips:

Take a toothbrush, change of underclothes etc. on the plane with your carry on in case of an overnight delay.  Carry money for food, there is no compensation from airlines for weather delays. 

Make sure you bag has an external tag and internal identification.  It’s not a bad idea to write "this bag belongs to" your name and phone number on a sheet of paper and place on top of your clothes just before you close your suitcase – that aids in bag identification if the handle/tags are torn off.

You will be picked up from the airport but weather can delay the runs, be prepared to wait.  Make sure you have contact info for your chain of command!
