Packing Lists: Changeable Weather - Pack an Umbrella

  • Miscellaneous: I'd advise packing a small travel umbrella. The weather in Paris, even in the summer, was very changeable -- incredibly hot and muggy one day, cool and rainy the next. The only umbrellas we could find in the shops were luxury men's brollies priced at 42 Euros, or golf umbrellas, much too wide to fit on the narrow sidewalks, so we ended up walking in the rain.

    I also wished that I had brought a 24-hour digital watch, which would have saved me the trouble of translating opening times and train timetables in my head.
