Italy Packing List
I like to pack light with carry-on luggage only. One obvious advantage is that lighter bags are easier to carry around. Secondly, I eliminate the risk of my bags being lost by the airline.
This is what I plan to pack for our trip to Italy:
• One pair of jeans (women should pack one or two wrinkle resistant skirts).
• 2-3 dark mock turtle neck shirts
• 2 Oxford shirts
• 2 t-shirts
• 3 pairs of thick, comfortable socks
• 5 pairs of underwear
• 1 umbrella from Dollar Tree
• 6 band-aids
• 1 pair binoculars
• Guide books: Rick Steve's Rome and Rick Steve's Florence & Tuscany
• Passport
• 2 credit cards
• 2 ATM cards
• 3 color copies of my passport with my home/hotel address and emergency contact info written on back.
• Medications including a few Tylenol PM
• Health insurance information
• Camera & charger
• Extra pair of eyeglasses and one pair of sunglasses
• Cell phone & charger (can also serve as clock/alarm)
• Electric plug adapter
• Two pens
• Small notebook
• 6 plastic supermarket shopping bags
• Extra pair of eyeglasses
• Earplugs and eye shade
• Toiletries: razors, dental floss, toothbrush & toothpaste, hairspray, comb, moisturizer. All liquids must be in small, travel-approved containers.
• Printed documentation of my hotel and airline reservation
• Business paperwork for my trip
• Netbook computer equipped with Skype (phone calls)
• Small backpack
I fit all of the above (with room to spare) into my carry-on.
Roll (instead of fold) all of my clothes and put rubber bands around them. If I have room, I will add a pair of chinos or a light pair of shoes. For women, a scarf is the perfect accessory to vary your outfits.
Remember in addition to carry-on luggage that can be stowed on top, a small bag (like a backpack) can be stowed under the seat in front of you on the plane.
When I get to Italy, I know that my hotel will able to do laundry for me at a reasonable cost. So, it is not necessary for me to carry a lot of clean (and dirty) laundry around Italy.

| Italy Video Blog: Romantic Venice
|

On our last small group tour of Italy, about half the group (4 of us) took a 2-day extension of the trip to Venice. It exceeed my expectations in that it is more romantic than I could have possibly imagined. Venice is one of those unique places on earth because it really is a city built into the sea.
