It is important to take with you all the things that you will need for the Games but there is a limit to the amount of baggage that you are able to take. With that in mind here are three things to remember:
Keep luggage to a minimum and do not bring any valuables
Make sure that all baggage is clearly labelled and easily identifiable
Your luggage is your responsibility – at all times
Team members will be responsible for transporting all of their own baggage to the airport and into the hotel when we arrive in Trinidad and Tobago. Please make sure you have all the leisure wear items that you were supplied at Team Camp and any other essentials you will need. A suggested packing list is below.
