Essential Europe in March

Never been before. Money belt or pouch around neck under blouse? Where do I buy one I don't have to take off at airport Security?

March in Rome, Florence, Venice, Paris & London. Carry on bag. I will layer, but do I need a jacket/coat/poncho? I don't want to be incumbered, but I don't like to be cold, either. In all the history books and movies, I've only seen the ancient Romans in togas, never coats.

I used a neck pouch which I tied around my bra and strapped it down and tucked it into my pants in the front instead of wearing it around my neck. I bought mine at a luggage store but at airport security i just stored it in my purse. I would layer and you will need a jacket for Paris and London in March. If you can afford to buy a cashmere sweater to wear for warmth and style and then a warmish coat ( remember your gloves and a hat for Paris and London) especially if you are from a warm climate

We were in Paris in March; we were glad we had our coats. We actually had three beaufiful days where we didn't need them, but everyone said that was unusual.

We have been to all those places in March and you will definitely want a coat for London & Paris. Atleast last March it was quite cold, and a bit windy. Even my husband ended up buying a scarf to keep warm.

I use the Eagle Creek hidden pocket. (http://www.eaglecreek.com/accessorie...-Pocket-40024/). You just loop it through your belt. You do not need to remove it for security unless you had to remove your belt due to a large belt bucklet.

I never thought about gloves and hat! Thanks. So, it looks like a coat is going! So, I'm taking a carry-on bag, purse and coat. Do I just shove the coat in the overhead on the plane with my luggage? 12 day trip. What to take in clothes?

Clothes are really a matter of choice. I took black pants and a pair of jeans and some tops. I know there have been many threads on what to take but take the clothes that you're comfortable in and yet look stylish. Take a scarf that you can wear for style and warmth and if you want to see what others wore in europe check out the travel pics on flickr.com ( that's what I did) and don't fret because if you forget something you can always buy yourself something new.
