Overall the OOT Bags were a huge hit with our guests. The sunscreen came in really handy for many guests since they didnt check luggage, they could not bring a large tube. We brought about 50 lbs worth of stuff and boxes during our site visit and left it with Mariana at Dreams. This was a tremendous help, we highly recommend this. You will always find last minute items you need to bring and you dont want to have to pay for an extra bag if you dont have to. Our site visit was short and we had plenty of room to bring the bigger stuff. We brought it inside a smaller luggage container and then stuffed the empty one inside the large one to bring the bag home.

The Dreams employees thought we were running some sort of store out of our room with all this stuff! The one guy actually wanted to buy one of our spanish/english dictionaries. Too bad we didnt have any extras, we would have given him one

Recommendations:
-------------------
- Crossword Puzzle/ Word Find / Sudoku books would be a nice addition
- Photo books took a lot of time to find photos of guests and print but it helped our guests get to know one another quicker. Since our guests arrived on different days, this came in handy.

Sorry for the delay, we know its important to Give Back!

HOLY CRAP!!! Those may have been the best OOT bags I have seen yet. I dont know if I could afford all that stuff though. Maybe if I do one bag per couple. Those look really great though!
