Airport Transportation for Tourists - IMPORTANT!

All players must be dropped off and picked up by your parents for the tour.  You cannot drive you own vehicle to the airport and must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.  You will also need a parent/guardian to sign you out when we return.  This will not be optional.

Airport Information for tour

All tourists need to be at Terminal E at Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) at 8:15 AM Saturday morning - being late is not optional, so please leave in plenty of time so that you are on time.  If you have not already given your tour check to Coach Power, please have it for him Saturday morning, thank you.  Get ready to tour!!!

2014 STH Tour Info Sheet

Hello tourists and families! Please find below a few things that will help us on our way on our spring break tour.

Checks for $650.00 payable to Marty Power may be handed to Coach Power or Coach Wolf any time up to departure.

Please remember that this is a RUGBY trip. Players will be required to participate in all team activities together. Side trips to visit Aunt Lucy will have to wait till next family vacation. Cell phones will be collected and not used in the bus so kids will not be on 24/7 access plan. (team building)

Photo IDs MUST be with kids to get on the plane(s). If the player only has a student ID he must have a COPY of birth certificate. All players must copy their ID/BC/PP/or TDL on 1 sheet of paper and give to Coach Wolf as a backup.  Please supply an additional page with copy of health insurance card just in case.

If your son has a dangerous/serious food or other allergy please advise Coach Wolf so I can pass on to the host families.

It will be cold!

Pack efficiently please. Luggage fees for non carry on items are the player’s responsibility. Carry on should be kit bag and small back pack maximum (back pack counts as purse)

Please advise staff (Coach Wolf) of any medications or medical needs for the players.

Relax and know that your kids are going to have a wonderful experience.
