…gonna find out if I’m naughty or nice… Ooops! wrong season.
But, I have been knee deep in lists recently. I’ve read a lot on the Internet on what to pack–and what not to pack–for a trip to Europe. Remember, this is a first for me. So I’ve been looking for some good advice, and I’ve found a lot. A friend at work sent me her list–very helpful. There are a number of web sites–somewhat helpful since they don’t all seem to agree. But through it all I believe I’ve managed to distill it down to some good info on what to take and what to leave behind.
I think I’ll be a minimalist as far as clothes… I can wash and many hotels have a laundry service, why waste a lot of time on a lot of clothes. I have to have my electronic toys, so that means my digital DSLR, my netbook, my iPhone, etc. I will be connected, I will update my blog and do email. And I will take a ton of photos.
So, I am working from a number of lists, checking them twice, cross-referencing and comparing them. But if worse comes to worse, I’m going to pack on the side of “light” with the idea that I can buy it there!
You might want to take some of your oldest clothes and underwear, and then just leave them behind…and have more room in your suitcase for the return trip home. I’m just sayin’. It’s worked for others in the past…so I’ve heard.
