Packing List adapted from Rick Steves

What did I miss?

4 Shirts

1 sweater/cardigan/wrap

3 capris

2 cargo like long shorts

Swimsuit. Coverup

5 unmentionables

One pair of sneakers because Lynn reminded me we need closed toe shoes for biking in Lucca.

One birkies which will serve as sandals and slippers.

Scarf - one must bring one to Europe, but like the last time, it'll probably sit in the luggage.

Teeny Weeny wallet (acts as wallet or purse as well)

Money/debit card/credit card

Documents and photocopies/folder with tickets and itinerary/addresses.

Small daypack. Purple, got it from TJ Maxx. I'm always on the hunt for the perfect day bag. Carry on the plane.

Travel vest (just got it, lots of pockets, will wear on plane)

Point n shoot camera. I'm leaving the DLSR home. Extra memory cards.

Y jack and headphones to listen to Victoria's IPOD touch. I never listen to my own Zune so I'm going to skip it.

Small travel alarm clock.

First-aid kit.

Medicine and vitamins.

2 pairs of sunglasses.

Sunscreen

Toiletries kit with soap/foot spray. (Rick says not all Europe hotels have 'em) I have this peppermint foot spray that makes your feet all fresh and tingly and I think it'll be perfect after a day of touring, or even during.

Small makeup kit. If I don't have some, I'll fret. I hardly wear it while on vacation.

Sealable plastic baggies.

Sewing kit/safety pins

Travel information. Rip out appropriate chapters from guidebooks and staple them together. When you're done, give them away.

Packing cubes.

PJs

Spot remover.

Inflatable pillow (or "neck rest").

Flat iron/hair stuff/brush

Tiny locks used to lock luggage left behind in room.

Adapter.

Small roll of duct tape. Because Rick said so.

Mailing tube. Great for art lovers, this protects the posters and prints you buy along your trip. You can trim it to fit inside your backpack (though this obviously limits the dimensions of the posters you can carry).

3/4 paperbacks.

Insect repellent.

Rain Poncho.
