 Gonnie & Tom (Tompt) needing a
break? `-) by irisbe
Don't end up like my dear friends Gonnie and Tom (Tompt) here, needing a break without any coins! Desperate situation `-)
Note of the author
You still can survive absence of the snack, you might survive the penalty fee for not paying at the parking meter... but I don't know about the third option `-)
that could be really desperate ! Leave a Comment

 ME AT GRAND PLACE by matcrazy1
Depends on weather/season but always good walking shoes or boots and rain coat (or less comfortable umbrella).
Check the climate in Brussels:
World Climate
Check the weather (5-day forecast for Brussels) just before you go:
Yahoo weather
CNN weather
BBC weather
or even 10-day forecast:
The Weather Channel
For pictures at night and bad light (interiors) take a tripod.
Buy good map of Brussels (detailed with one-way street marked if you drive a car). Leave a Comment

 be camera prepared :) by irisbe
Bring zoom lenses and tripods with you.
If you go on walking, a small digital might be handy (weight weight!) Leave a Comment

Brussels shares a similar climate to Amsterdam in the Netherlands. So pack an umbrella and a warm jacket or sweater, especially for those cool spring nights.
Take along ample film, or have plenty of gigabytes for your digital.

You should bring a light jacket, a relatively heavy sweater, and an umbrella and you should be fine. There are literally 4 seasons in one day. In May 2007, it went from cold drizzle to hot and humid to downpours to freezing wind within a span of a few hours. Your best bet is to layer clothing (shirt, sweater, jacket); this way you can take something off if you get hot and put something back on if you get cold.
Toiletries are really not necessary to bring from home if you would like to conserve space in your luggage. You can easily get these items from stores in Brussels and for the same prices as in the US. Leave a Comment

The airlines are notorious for losing luggage, we all know that. Yet, there are still people who make the foolish mistake of putting valuable items in their checked luggage! Most airlines allow you a carry-on bag and one personal item (briefcase, laptop or something like that).
Soft-sided luggage constructed from high-tech material is the best for this purpose. You can use it also as pillow, while you are waiting for a long time on the airport and want to rest.
Personal need: toiletries, a change of underwear, some food, a sweater, wet wipes,
Medications, contact lens paraphernalia, asthma tools, and a little handy-pack of tissues should always go into your carry-on bag
Do not forget a small camera and a good Travel Guide! They won't add much space or weight, and are well worth it if you end up spending more time that you expected still and waiting.
The longer the trip, the more items, the larger the Luggage! Just remember, whatever you pack, you have to carry!
Choose a bag that is large enough to handle all the things you need to take, but small enough to fit the size requirements at your airline. Things like this should be carried on your person or packed in a carry-on bag that will fit under the seat.
• Small valuables: cash, credit cards, jewelry, cameras.
• Critical items: medicine, keys, passport, tour vouchers, tickets.
• Irreplaceable items: manuscripts, heirlooms.
• Fragile items: eyeglasses, glass containers, liquids.
• Personal need: toiletries, a change of underwear, some food, a sweater, wet wipes,
Remember, the only way to be sure your valuables are not damaged or lost is to keep them with you.
