China Packing notes:
(1) We will be allowed 3 bags on the airplane - 1 carry on, in which you should put some belongings and a few snacks in case your luggage gets delayed, 1 check in bag with personal items, and 1 bag for items that the team needs to carry down. I will keep you posted as to what you need to carry. When we fly together also make sure at the airport that they put a transfer sticker on your luggage.
(2) Maximum weight of each checked bag is 50 lbs.
(3) The concept we use in packing is pack heavy, return light. Try to pack things that you will want to leave in China for the church to give to the people, i.e. clothes, pillows, bedding.
(4) Make sure you carry your passport and make a copy of the inside page to keep separate from your passport in case it gets lost.
