I'm panicked over how I'm supposed to fit a weeks worth of my life into a TSA acceptable carry on suitcase. I didn't think I'd be this worried about it... but lo and behold, the trip is two weeks away and I haven't even considered which BOOK I'm bringing to Europe, let alone my laundry. And early reports are calling for cold, rainy, New York-winter weather in Paris. So that means more bulky sweaters.
Here is my tentative list of needs:
- A pair of jeans
- Comfortable shoes
- My new Lands End coat
- 2 pashmina wraps for scarves, dress up, etc.
- 3-4 different tops... probably in all black or dark colors
- Gloves
- Another pair of pants (prefer jeans, but we'll see)
- PJs and underly-things for a week
- Flip Flops for the hotels/train
- Toothbrush and paste
- Insulin pump supplies and basically anything I would need to stay alive for a week without access to a hospital (there is the bulk of my suitcase, unfortunately.)
- My quart size bag of 3 oz bottles - as many as I can fit
- Stuff to keep my crazy wavy hair under control in rainy weather
- Minimal make up supplies (powder, eyeliner, lip gloss... done.)
- My IPod
- My camera
- My passport
- My French, Italian and German phrase book (because I failed in the podcast department)
- Copies of the cool stuff to do from my tour books (because Rick Steves' says don't bring all the tour books with you)
- Copies of all our travel docs, important info, blah blah blah
- Our rail tickets
- If I can find it: a used paperback copy of "Angels and Demons"
- If I can fit it: my flat iron. However, this may be a lost cause because of the weather.
