1. Don't forget your motion sickness medication. We'll be in a bus, for over nine hours. The smell of vomit actually worsens over time, but just to be safe let's not test that theory.
2. Pack your toiletries. Believe it or not jr high boys, no amount of Axe body spray can substitute for this thing called a shower. You'll never meet your future wife smelling like that either.
3. It will be 15-20 degrees colder in Estes Park, so you may want to throw in a light jacket or sweater.
4. Get some rest before we leave. You probably won't sleep much on the bus, and we'll start early on Tuesday morning so do yourself a favor and buy yourself some sleep hours ahead of time.
5. Spending money for meals. Even though youth pastors are notoriously loaded with cash, you’ll still want to have enough for yourself just in case.
6. Leave the messy snacks and non- bottled drinks behind. Corn nuts, vienna sausages (yeah, I've had kids bring that), sunflower seeds, and canned drinks don't need to make an appearance on the bus.
7. It’s about a nine hour trip, so instead of asking Nolan how much longer it is, try this simple formula: Total time it takes to get there (9) minus how long we been traveling = the answer to your annoying question.
8. Something to keep yourself entertained. Books are fun - you read them, ipods, handheld videogames, cards, whatever.
9. Bring your bible! You will be using it - probably more during this week than any other week throughout the year.
10. Pray! Specifically for safe travel but also for God to remove any potential distractions that would keep us from having the best week possible.
There you go! Now go pack your bags and get some rest - we're going to have an incredible week!
For the Kingdom!
Nolan
