A note for family traveling from outside the U.S.
We know this trip means crossing the border, and we don't take that lightly — especially with school schedules to work around. A few things that may help:
- Double-check that passports are current well ahead of the date — processing times can vary and it's worth confirming early.
- We're happy to provide a formal invitation letter if it helps with a school absence request — just reach out.
- If cost or timing is genuinely difficult, please don't hesitate to let us know. We'd rather talk it through than have anyone feel pressured.
