Extras

Don’t forget few creative extras, like a Memory Journal to write your thoughts and impressions of the place you visit,  romantic candles, for those relaxing moments with some wine, crackers, and cheese at the end of a tiring day, and don’t forget a corkscrew.


Selfie stick, NOTE

"Selfie sticks" have now been banned at the Palace of Versailles outside Paris, and Britain’s National Gallery in London, joining a growing list of global tourist attractions to take such measures. Unlike Versailles, the Louvre and Centre Georges Pompidou art museums have not banned selfie sticks — yet. Musee d’Orsay, which houses an Impressionist art collection, bans not just selfie sticks, but any photography whatsoever.

Packing Tips

Don't Overpack

A challenge even for some experienced travelers! You can wash or dry clean some clothes during your travel. Some Hotels offer laundry and dry cleaning services. They can also provide hair dryers. Toiletries and cosmetics can also be purchased at your destinations as well as all the fashionable clothes that you can get in Paris.


What should you pack?

Packing light is helpful, but not critical, if you are only staying in Paris. If you intend to tour Europe and use the Low cost Airlines, find out what is their allowance and regulations regarding the luggage. See also our Pack For Paris suggestions and apply the rule for other destinations you are going to visit.


Few more Tips for Packing

Mix clothes with your partner in two suitcases. This way, you will still have part of your clothes if one of your suitcases got lost. Pack versatile, comfortable clothing that you can layer for warmth or coolness.


Travel Tips - How to survive the Long Haul Flight>>>


Your Luggage

Keep in mind that most airlines limit your carry-on size and weight. Most airlines allow a height, length, and width combined of 45 inches and a weight limit ranging from 13 to 70 pounds. Check with your airline for their specific restrictions. Always carry all valuables such as money, passport, tickets, all medications, glasses and contact lenses, camera, etc. on board the plane. It's also a good idea to carry on your toiletries kit (liquids must be in 3oz. containers and fit within a quart-size bag). Label your bag inside and out with your name as well as the name, address, and phone of your first hotel.

Amazon.com offer a selection of quality backpacks, business & computer cases, carry-on bags, sports duffels, golf bags, handbags, kids' bags, as well as any other travel related products. Most in-stock products are offered at discounts of 15-35%.

We find that soft-sided bags, wheeled bags are the best.


Electronics

Camera, extra batteries & memory: You will need lots of memory for storing your images, plus adequate batteries, chargers, converters and adapters. An adapter plug  is needed, but not converter, for camera accessories.

Remember the difference between European and the United States current and the shape of the plug. American appliances run on 110 volts, while European appliances are 220 volts. Most newer travel accessories are "dual-voltage," which means they work on both American and European current. If you see a range of voltages printed on the item or its plug (such as "110–220"), you're OK in Europe. Some older appliances have a voltage switch marked 110 (US) and 220 (Europe) — switch it to 220 as you pack. Don’ forget to bring both continental and British adapters.  We found that Amazon.com offer the best prices for all your travel needs.
