YOUR DAY BAG
Once we land, you'll want to travel with a day bag, perhaps a "library book" bag, a back pack or a handbag. Inside you'll want to keep your music folder and hymnal. (To be clear, the hymnal is only about 32 pages; it is not a hard bound choir hymnal!) Throughout the day, we may find ourselves in a situation where we wish to sing a choir piece or a simple hymn or refrain. Prayers and readings for private or group use will also be in the hymnal.
You'll also want to carry a bottle of water. It's good for the body and good for the voice. One of my favorite experiences of Rome is stepping out of the airport and into the humidity. (And bus fumes.) Do your best to stay hydrated all week long.
It would be wise to pack an umbrella. Bring a guide book and map in case you choose to wander off. Grab a business card from the hotel and keep it in your bag in case it gets lost or in case you need to give it to a taxi driver.
It's also good to keep some snacks on you.
I couldn't help but notice the temperature this week will be in the 60's and sunny. You may even need to bring some sun screen!
See you tomorrow.....
