Packing List

by Dana27

It is best to have a bag on wheels plus with a handle. Makes it easier to get on and off of busses and trains. Bring warm clothing. It can get cold here. Some days will be warmer than others. It would be nice to bring a jacket along to. Don't forget the umbrella. It does like to rain here. Bring some good walking shoes. Don't want your feet to hurt by the end of the day. Bandaids for the kids. Kids will be kids. So bring what they will need if they fall and get hurt. We use a digital camera. I would bring extra batteries with you just in case you can't find the ones you need. Don't worry about bringing anything that you plug in. You won't be able to do it. They run on 220 here. So save the room and don't bring it.

Packing List

First of all, ask yourself what kind of a holiday you're going to have. If you intend to do alot of sightseeing and walking or cycling around (like what we did), you should pack along a comfortable pair of shoes. However, if you plan on having a relaxing holiday and visiting museums et al, then I'd suggest that you pack along some smart casuals and a lovely pair of shoes. Remember, no matter which country you are in, there are always a group of people who'd judge you by the way you dress. So, it is always advisable to look presentable at all times... unless of course, you are Madonna. Then you can get away with ANYTHING! :-) Toiletries: Pour your face lotion, toner, cleanser et al into miniature bottles. Remember, everything else should be transferred into miniature plastic bottles to save luggage space. Medicine: VERY important. Don't forget to bring it along with you. (1) A box of...

Don't bring your wireless phones to Europe because most of them will not work there. Purchase a prepaid phone in a larger city in Europe You can call almost anywhere and receive calls from almost anywhere. I met a couple who did this and it cost them only $40 (American dollars). If you call often like I do, this is less expensive than makinig long distant calls from pay phones, calling collect, using calling cards or calling from hotels.

Make sure you have an umbrella or a good rain-repellant coat or jacket. You never know when the heavens will open up in Central Europe. If you're in a quandary over whether to pack a wide-angle or a telephoto and only have room for one: Take the wide-angle. It'll be much more useful. Assuming you're using a 35mm SLR, Tamron and Sigma both make very good wide-range zooms, which could allow you to carry only one camera and one lens.If you're taking a digital and intend on recharging batteries along the way, make sure you have your re-charger AND a transformer (assuming you are coming from the Western Hemisphere, Japan, or the Philippines. You will also need a set of adapter plugs so you can plug your equipment in as well. God did not create all plugs equal...unfortunately. We always carry two immersion heaters, one for 220/240 volts and one for 120 volts. A good cup of tea or coffee in...

Make sure that the car you rent will hold the people with luggage you have. Hey, depends on the weather what kind of clothing to bring. In doubt ask a VT member about the weather. Always take your medication with you. But you can buy most common things in Germany. You must have a camera. I like digital cameras the best. Never a problem to charge my batteries. I take a charger that works in every country around the world. Take clothes that fits the season. I always check with VT members in the location I am traveling to. The most important thing to have is good maps. I stopped at the German auto club. Called ADAC, they have the best collection of maps. They were free for me. My friend is a member and we made a trip there to get me a supply of maps for my trip to Italy. Or you can buy maps from any ADAC location in Germany if you are making a trip there. Look on internet for locations...
