Stay on the side of caution at all times. You may bring a companion but understand that his/her presence will affect the whole experience. Bring a small notebook for jotting down quick notes. No need for elaborate photographic documentation (that will be another project).  Keep all ticket stubs, receipts and similar stuff as evidence. Remember, for this exercise, the process is more important than the goal. Detailed reports are due on Thursday, Aug. 28.

HAVE FUN!
