1. Dallas has two major airports, DFW International (large airport) and Love Field (small airport). They are roughly the same distance from the training center, about 20 minutes’ drive. Pick the airport with the best fares and departure times to suit your needs.
2. Schedule an early arrival if you can. This will allow you to be more relaxed and will give you a cushion in the event of a cancelled or delayed flight.
3. There are three lodging options within half a mile of the training center. We are happy to provide information for all three. Students with cars are always eager to assist their classmates; we put everyone in touch prior to class to facilitate these arrangements.
4. We don’t expect anyone flying on an airplane to bring a massage table! But we do ask that all students bring sheets, towels, and pillows (see list of Things to Bring). Students typically borrow these from their hotel room.
5. We also ask that students bring unscented lotion or cream. A 3.5 travel-size container of lubricant will be plenty for this class.
6. Protect yourself in crowded spaces with mindful handwashing and use of hand sanitizer. Even if you’ve grown accustomed to not wearing a mask, carry one with you. You could end up seated next to a coughing passenger and wish you had one.
7. Consider trip insurance. For the benefit of your fellow students and the fragile clients we care for, we ask that you not attend class if you are sick. We would hate for anyone to be penalized for doing the right thing.
