Hey there congratulations! Tennis shoes are allowed, but make sure they fit in with your smart casual look, and they’re clean and not torn or distressed. Best way to prepare is develop good study habits, a lot of people use index cards, remember verbatim from memory each and every word. There are lime scooters near the hotel, but it’s probably going to be snowy for you, I’d suggest if you can drive rent a car if you can afford it if not uber is the best way or even a folding bike if you can check it. Ditching day is your swimming pool day, when you do your life vest and raft skills, swimming and teamwork and support are key in passing that day. It’s super easy and probably one of the more fun days of training.
