Luggage And Bags: When I travel in the states, my items are a bit different then the ones I take to Europe. I usually travel with less items that I can find here more readily. I do more shopping on these travels, so the clothing I take is also limited. But there are still items that I always take with me and of course, it all depends on the season as well. Following are a few items:
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: 2 pair of slacks one black, the other any color depending on the season (depending on the season, linen or cotton for the spring/summer, wool/wool blend or polyester blend for fall/winter
1 black jacket to dress up the slacks or for casual dinning)
1 black dress (for evening dinning, show, opera, etc, or for a night out at a club)
1 pair of jeans and a pair of khakis or Capri’s (again, depending on the season)
2 skirts or shorts which can be worn either during the day or into the early evening
2 white t-shirts or tank tops
3 casual/dress shirts (sweaters in the winter)
1 pair of walking shoes for daytime touring
1 pair black shoes or sandals
2 bathing suits and 2 cover-ups
one week’s worth of undergarments
2-3 pajamas or oversized t-shirts for sleeping
Toiletries & Medical Supplies: 4 spare pairs of contact lenses
5-7 pair of trouser socks
contact lens solution
spare glasses
extra pair of sunglasses
blow dryer (never leave home without it)
travel iron
cosmetics in a travel case
my favorite shampoo and conditioner in travel sizes
hand and body lotion travel size
Tylenol, allergy medication and any other medication I am taking at the time
Hair accessories, brush, hats or caps
Photo Equipment: 2 cameras, plenty of film and extra batteries for the camera
Guide books, itineraries and maps, extra ATM card for withdrawal from savings if my regular card fails, 2 credit cards, $500 in cash for just in case of emergency.
Extra travel bag to put all my purchases in.
What I tend to do if I am traveling during the colder season, I usually wear the jacket, a heavy sweater, wool pants, along with boots (these are items that would take up more space in the luggage).
Remember to adjust your packing to the location and time of year, and just go out there and enjoy your time wherever that may be.
