Mosquito Repellant, Minneapolis

Miscellaneous: If you're here during the summer and plan on spending any time at all outdoors, bring some mosquito repellant with DEET. They make jokes about the mosquito being the state bird, but.....maybe they aren't really joking?

Luggage and bags: Traveling light is always a smart way to travel.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Depending upon what time of the year you are visiting...the difference is clothing and weather gear dramatically changes.
FOR WINTER/FALL...bring gloves, a hat *something to cover your head*, a warm jacket, warm shoes, ANYTHING TO KEEP YOU WARM. winters aren't brutally harsh,, but we have them days ;)..

SPRING/SUMMER : bring a light jacket..spring time can be chilly. an umbrella is always smart to have handy due to storms and rain.

Minnesota weather is CRAZY. It goes from 10F to 40F in no time...or from 60 to 80F.

The best thing to do is check weather reports before visiting so you can be prepared. NEVER assume weather!!

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Toiletries and over the counter medical supplies are easy to buy over here..and the price usually is reasonable.

Always remember to bring prescription orders though...

Luggage and bags: Doesn't matter.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Doesn't matter, though calimine lotion may be helpful!

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Doesn't matter.

Photo Equipment: Doesn't matter.

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Doesn't matter.

Miscellaneous: If you do not have massive amounts of bug spray, and I suggest "Deep Woods Off", you run the risk of having all your blood sucked completely out of your body.
