PACKING FOR ITALY!!!

IS A JOB!!!

It is SO hard for me to not overpack!! lol, I have practically a WHOLE suitcase full of lingerie, and bathing suits, toiletries and makeup... hehe

My other suit case is loaded with shoes and clothes, dresses, pants, sweaters, cute tops, tees, and jackets

And my carryon is already to full capacity...with all my meds (there are a lot b/c of my back pain), travel info, wallet, camera, a book to read on the plane...


I CAN'T WAIT THOUGH!! IN JUST A FEW DAYS I WILL BE IN THE AMALFI COAST!! we are spending a week on the coast and a week in ROme! We are also taking a few day trips....we are meeting my friend in Florence for a day, going to Capri, and to Pompeii for a day


Anything i might be forgetting?

OMG SOUNDS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am so jealous!!!

If you are taking any electronics take a converter?

Also...just enjoy, sounds like a fun trip

dont forget:

PAsSPORT!!

i always bring a plastic bag for any bathing suits that are still wet when its time to go back home

sunglasses

sunscreen

i suggest taking advil, pepto bismol, some kind of car/sea sickness medication in case youll be riding on a bus or a boat

oh and your address book so you can mail postcards to your family!!!!!

sounds great! have a wonderful time! and take lots of pics!

DEFINATELY!! We also packed like 8 gigs of memory cards AND our laptop! AND our camcorder, lol!

I am nervous about pickpocketers there, I hear they are GOOD....so we are even packing cable ties to tie on our zippers while we are walking around. This way no one can get into our bags. FH got a messenger bag to fit our camcorder in if we decide to take it out and so that if we are out and about i dont have to fit everything in my purse.

yes tell your FH (well will be DH) to keep his wallet in his front pocket of his pants. there are a lot of gypsies in Rome.

I'm sooooo jealous!! I was in Italy at exactly this time last year and it was FABULOUS. We have house there and we took a million day trips and it was sooo fun. I miss it!!

You're going to have an amazing time. Capri is definitely the most beautiful place in the world! Rome and Florence are so full of history!

Sooo excited for you.

Wow! That sounds like an amazing trip! Congrats!

I can not wait to see what pictures you come back with!

aaawww congrats sooo happy for you!!!

Hi there! One teeny bit of advice, if I may. Leave at least one outfit and some underwear,bras in your carry on. This way, if anything should happen to your luggage, you won't be walking around Italy in his underwear - like I had too :(
