I believe Nicole said she's getting lunch for all of us. Probably good to bring a cup of coffee for yourself though, and a pen or pencil. Notepaper if you like to make lots of notes, but most of what you need to know is in the manual which you'll get to keep so I just highlighted areas that I wanted to pay attention to or put notes on the applicable pages. (It's possible the office there will have different stuff though than what the one did where I took my course.)
I'd also bring a sweater so that you can adjust your temperature depending on what the building is like. I find office buildings almost always seem to have funky a/c and heating so it's possible this one might too.
And dress comfortably.
Tam is more familiar with the building and may know more of what the office will have available for the class to use, so I'm sure she'll be able to add anything that's needed or tell you to leave something at home if they'll have it there. :thumbsup:

I would recommend bringing a pen/pencil/hi-lighter.. You can really use your student manual for most notes, but you may want to bring additional paper or even some mini post-its. You'll absolutely want to dress for the weather, since we may be in and out of the classroom and into vehicles--that's something we'll decide based on the weather and what seatbelts we have available to us inside versus outside. Ideally wear sweats or loose pants, especially for the clinic day!
We'll have water and I will be providing lunch for everyone. Alternate drinks might be an idea (although if I have time I'll try to pick some other drinks up).. Trudy and I don't know the location all that well, and we're just guests but we'll do our best to make it comfortable for the 2 days we're there!

Ooo, mini post-it notes are a wonderful idea. I would've found those very handy when I took my course.

MMMM, yummy.
(answer the question?
)Tam has helped with the stuff I can think of off the top of my head. Maybe Nicole will know of something though?

You'll see us--it's quite obvious that we like our food.. Except Tam, she's a twig
We are flying in, the day before. We have a nice big hotel suite nearby, and I have my trusty "personal assistant" coming with me who is babysitting Trudy's 2 year old. We should be pretty good--I may drop food off to the hotel at some point each day, or the kids will call room service and order lunch that way. I'm just booking car rental now

Yeah, I need all the rental seats I can get for my 5'7" 140lb teenager I WAS thinking about renting them as examples for the class, but they're a bit pricey for that... "What NOT to do".. With my luck I'd end up getting all brand new Britax seats or something. Backfire!

I'm just posting to wish you all a safe flight, and a great course. It sounds like it will be so much fun (I've been reading the other thread about it).

Thanks Angie.
Definitely bring 'personal' items to make your comfortable and help you through the course (ie. hi-lighter, sticky notes, etc.).
Nicole is providing lunch :kiss: I'll take care of water and drinks like juice or pop. But let me know what you would drink or wouldn't drink so I can try getting them. No sense of wasting money and efforts on things that no one would use and short on what we really want
The course is in the south location and is an older building, so dress in layers - ie. take off if hot and layer on if cold It's in a residential area, so there isn't a store nearby or w/in walking distance. So what we want/need, cannot be easily find/bought during the course.
As for the course, we have teaching props (ie. seatbelt assemblies, seats, etc.) from SJA. No need to bring your own seats unless it's something that you think we all can see (like an Oobr )
If I can think of something else, I will post.

Well - I'm addicted to diet cola, store-brand is good even, as long as it is NOT "RC".
