Besides, reneeinva, just think what a lifesaver you would be, if the power went out on the plane or something. You'd have the adapter, transformer, voltage regulator, converter, vibrator, and a pair of jumper cables, and of course the light bulb, right there in your carry-on!

Marilyn and Brimham -
You are so right. Thank you thank you!
BUT, what if the rude traveler in front of me who has an odor and dandruf tries to recline his/her seat and breaks my light bulb?
What then?! I am in a panic and I may not be able to sleep.

My dear, how droll. Dear, I suggest you make an effort to chuck LAST YEAR'S light bulbs. I mean, really, my dear, who would be caught dead with anything other than the most current, most upmarket bulbs? Get with the program, dear. How naff.

I understand that in Europe many lights are on timers. You have to press a switch at the bottom of the stairs to turn the light and timer on. There's a switch at the top of the stairs as well.
If I have to bring my own light bulbs, do I have to bring the switches too?
How many switches do I have to bring?
I'm really stressed over this, since my smallest suitcase is only 35", with no wheels, and I have to bring my wedding dress to show my aunt in Romania who wasn't able to come to my wedding.

We are family of 3.6 adults and 1.7 bimbos. We just started planning an indepth tour of 9 foreign countries. All of us are pretty laid back and don't like to rush into anything, so we thought it would be real nice to go over a long weekend, may be this next weekend. Do you think this will leave enough time to change light bulbs and still make our next connection? Have any of you ever gone by water taxi to London from Venice and still have time to see the Queen? O! I just love light bulbs...so contropical.

On the eve of my departure, I'm getting more confused. I have to come to Fodors as the only place to get the right answer. Fodorites have been sooo helpful in the past. Thank you so very much with all your tips, especially the one on how to cross the Seine River on camelback.
Here's my question: my friend tells me that I have to go to Holland and get my bulbs there. She says to make sure they are tulip-shaped. Don't they sell tulip-shaped bulbs in Paris?
Please help! I'm not going to have time to stop in Holland. My plane lands in St Petersburg at midnight tomorrow and I have to be in Paris the next morning for that camelback tour of Paris.
Thanks for all your help so far! I've got my voltage regulator, converter, adapter, transformer, vibrator, pair of jumper cables, and pink jogging suit all packed in my 45" backpack and my wedding dress is in my 35" suitcase.

Buy your bulbs in Paris, shaped like the Eiffel Tower. Wear your wedding dress while riding on the camels back, the tourists will enjoy that. Wear the pink jogging suit into the Louvre, everyone will think you were the model for the clown paintings. Above all have a laughing time "lighting"up the City of Light.
