My Europe Cruise
Trying to pack for a 10 night trip to Europe is not fun anymore. You have keep the suitcases under 50 lbs! I now have two suitcases. So that's going to cost me another $100 round trip in baggage fees.
Here's some tips on packing:
Color co-ordinate so you can wear several tops with the same bottoms.
If traveling with a companion or spouse, divide your checked items into two (or more) suitcases. That way, if one is lost, you will both have some clothing to wear! It would be terrible for your spouse to have all of his clothes and you to have nothing but your carry-on. Also, be sure to carry-on anything that you cannot live without for a couple of days (or more), just in case your luggage is lost or delayed.
Don't Pack Valuable Jewelry. Blend in - Don't Stand Out.
Airlines have a weight limit ( around 50lbs per person, per bag ) so be frugal when you pack. Not only will it lighten your load, it will save you from significantly high extra bag fees.
Check back often. I will be blogging during this wonderful trip.
