Other things to consider

• Make sure you drink plenty of water. Its free from the water fountains and you can buy it everywhere.
• Take lots of cash. Make sure you split it up and hide it in several places so if it gets stolen or lost, its not all gone. There are cash machines available but expect to wait a very long time.
• Take one backpack for you and your friends and take turns carrying it.
• Try and eat some healthy food over the weekend. Your body will thank you for it later.

Ultimately have FUN people and BE SAFE.
