- Make sure that you bring the Credit Card that you used to make your deposit and final payment.  The hotel requires that you show it at check-in. 

- If you are traveling with infants, you will want to bring extra supplies for them like diapers, formula, etc as they are not readily available or cheap.    More advice for traveling with infants: 

              *Packing – It might be helpful to pack outfits in gallon-size Ziploc bags, because this will take up less space in your suitcase, and you can easily re-pack soiled items for the trip back home. (Note:  There are no coin-operated washers/dryers at the hotel. The hotel does provide laundry service at a cost. If you think you might need to hand wash a few items in the sink, then bring plastic hangers to dry items in your shower area.)

              *Travel Day -- Bring an umbrella fold-up stroller, a backpack filled with essentials (use gallon-size Ziploc bags for extra diapers/wipes/change of clothes for you & your child/blanket or cover up for feeding /snacks/pacifiers/baby bottle/small empty water bottle or sippy cup for re-filling/quiet colorful toys, etc.). Keep backpack under the seat in front of you in case the “fasten seat belt” sign is on and you can’t stand up to retrieve items from the overhead bin. (Note:  Feeding infants/toddlers on take-off and landing will often help alleviate ear pain.)

             *Airport Terminal -- Restrooms are available once you are in the terminal if you need to change diapers or clothes – these are before you get to immigration and customs. (Remember, the weather is hot and humid, a change from the cold air-conditioned plane.) Plan for a wait time of up to an hour to get through immigration (depending on how many flights are arriving), and clearing customs will take another 15-20 minutes. Fill out 1 immigration form per person (sign the child’s form for him), and 1 custom form per family – these should be given to you while you are on the airplane before you arrive, but if they run out you can find more in the immigration area.

- I was at the Hilton last week and was surprised to learn that I couldn't get a straw for my frappuccino in the coffee bar.  If straws are important to you, you may want to bring your own.
