You're right! I will take three things....passport, hubby and Grasshopper! But, Grasshopper has to bring me on her Millionaire Fantasy Trip, too!

Finland, with my Mom, to see the family village. I'd take my digital camera, toothbrush, a spare pair of underware and passport, I think!

I will buy whatever I need when I get there. I have always dreamt of getting on a plane just carrying my purse.

With a husband/wife/companion and your passport, a toothbrush should be all one needs~Of course, this is for those who like to shop.

Statia, honey,
I wouldn't dream of asking you to take me on a trip with you and your sweet husband, but I will come visit some day

But of course I will. Since I only brought my passport, I have room for 3 more people; you, hubby and I'll see if I can scrape up ......oh wait, my gigilo!

Scarlett, maybe Bob will let me take four things.....passport, hubby, Grasshopper and you, too! And, if nothing else, please use your free trip to come to the island. I've been waiting!

"My name is Michael Anthony..."

Okay, Mike. Let's hit St. Petersburg.* I'll take the passport, shoes, underwear, and laptop.

* I know, it's technically not Europe. So land in Helsinki and I'll buy a ferry ride with a few of the €10k.

Bob, I don't need that three minutes to figure out where I want to visit, but I do need the time to change clothes! I don't think I could leave my front door with the getup I have on now (and no I'm not telling). Promise I won't go over my minutes, really!

I want to go to Prague and I'm going to make a dent on that personal expense money buying exquisite chrystal. All I need to bring is my honey of a husband, who read my mind about wanting to see Prague, so how could I leave him behind? That and my black travelling tote into which I will stuff everything but the kitchen sink--that means passport, eyeglasses, guidebook, etc. etc. It's a big tote.

Now I'm ready! I'm waiting for the doorbell...

Robespierre: St Petersburg IS Europe, though not European Union. Any part of Russia on the west side of the Ural is geographicly spoken Europe.

Yes, how we can forget the prescriptions?

France (Paris & the Dordogne)

Passport
Ambien
Travel Pillow (protect from icky blue flap thingy on the back of the airplane seat)
Copies of important papers

Like Clifton I am wearing my walking shoes (trusty, dusty Birkenstocks, black, of course) and my smile. I'll add to that a great attitude!

1.passport
2.camera
3.book for the plane ride to ITALY !!
4.addresses of friends & family to send post cards

Bob,
Think I'd take Ira and St Cirq.....a Passport and a corkscrew.

Great answers !
Yes, his name was Micheal Anthony--I was not sure. For the record, I had picked Santorini and decided to take 4 items that you veteran travelers also hit upon:
1. passport
2. celeberex
3. camera
4. my Rockport "World Tour" shoes
That sure puts perspecive on the long packing lists we often see.

This only puts perspective on the long packing lists for travelers who receive 10,000 euro on arrival to buy whatever they need. The long packing lists are replaced by long shopping lists.

When Grasshoper is finished with her gigilo, I would like to borrow him

1. comfy undies (I don't like to try new on a trip, need tried-and-true)
2. comfy shoes (Grasshoper's gigilo won't comment on their fashion-less-ness)
3. Passport
4. medicines (darn)

Toothbrush, camera and most of my needs are available in Europe

Oh, forgot to mention where I'd go. Probably one of the more expensive cities like Copenhagen or St. Petersburg.

I'd be off to Germany taking my Passport and credit cards (in case I needed a little spare cash) forget the other 2 items, I'd be outa there!!!!

Oh darn, where's that live-in dogsitter when you need her?
Is it cheating to grab my gym bag and my purse? Gym bag already has a cosmetic bag packed and a book and purse has my cell phone and drivers license (I'll be renting a car.)
So, if I can have that then I'll need;
comfy shoes
and passport.
If I'm limited to 4 individual items, I'll take the drivers license, comfy shoes, passport, a book (in case we leave from a small airport and I don't have a chance to buy one)and I'll need my cell phone to make arrangements for dogs and tell hubby to meet me in Paris or London because I've yet to go there. I'll need to decide on the way to the airport.
The camera I'll buy the minute I arrive.
I'll keep my fingers crossed that he doesn't catch me in my pj's.

In my haste I nearly forgot, I'd take my husband with me.

passport
glasses/contacts paraphrenalia
and comfy ugly walking shoes
travel purse (got books...etc.)

Then off to Paris, let the adrenalin ease off there for a couple of days, hire a car with driver (hopefully a Viking or of Viking descent, Sven or Lars works for me...) and go see the Loire...if that bores me then back to Paris which I doubt EVER would bore me
now that I was so rich and blase

Paris!

I'd take:

1. passport (natch)
2. my husband
3. my dog
4. my other dog

I dream of winning the lottery just so I can take my dogs with me to Europe on a private jet. I would never put them in cargo, or cram them under the seat, but I would love to walk them in Paris, sit in a cafe with them under my table, etc. (And I would be a shining example of the wonderful American custom of scooping poop to all of Paris!)
