Going on a trip! Excited!

I'm going on a trip with a group of about 15 friends about 500 miles away:
New Orleans!

Some of you may be familiar with traveling, but I haven't gone out of the state (or even region) in about 5 years. So yeah, I'm excited. The farthest I've ever traveled was to Oklahoma.

We will either ride in a school bus or a charter bus. It will be a 4 day trip, 3 nights, and about an 8 hour drive.
Even though this sounds stupid... any traveling tips? I'm probably going to forget something really stupid.

BUT ANYWAY
I hear NO has a lot of hobos
thats cool i guess

 

Have fun make sure to tell us about it afterwards

 

oo have fun! road trips are super great plus New Orleans is pretty dang cool! I've only seen it in the movies but I like the artsy-ness of it a lot! if I were you I'd bring some kind of portable gaming system for the drive

 

awwwsomeee!! Have fun and don't forget a pillow and headphones trust me, even though it's only 8 hours you have to drive, it's still needed lol

 

Ill probably play the sims on the bus ride
Pillow, didn't think about that, I'll see if I can fit it!
My friends are bringing their whole gaming consoles to have tournaments in the hotel rooms, lol

 

yesss sims!

 

Well if so hide your wallet.

This post makes me sad because our year end trips to Montreal and Ottawa and Toronto were canceled due to strikes

 

Are you guys allowed to bring laptops?
If so, I recommend getting a lot of games you can play offline if the bus doesn't have WiFi, or if it's really crummy.

 

in our favorite rocket ship?

 

Flying throught the sky.

 

aw man im sorry

 

don't get hexed by the voodoo

Sounds fun! I just got back from a 3 day camping trip, and I'd recommend bringing something to do on the bus. I didn't bring anything to do and I just sat there for 8 hours on the bus. Bring some money, and a charger for your phone. (If you have one)

 

im bringing a whole power strip because the hotel rooms always only have 1 or 2 outlets

 

Same thiiing

 

ive been to NO its not far from texas which is where i live. i just wanna say, there are A LOT of hobos. no joke.

 

like, how many?

 

Bring extra pads and tampons, the last thing you want to do is run out. I wouldn't recommend bringing a laptop or any electronics other than a phone/camera. Bring stuff like mad libs and travel brochures so you know cool places to go and actually talk with your friends.
