*What to pack?*
 
We are traveling to Paris and London late this month. Anything we absolutly need to pack? (ie clothing, jackets, umbrellas...)

I don't think you'd ever regret taking a small travel-sized umbrella and some diarrhea medicine.

Hi Shan,

Travel packs of tissues. Tums. Washcloths.

Shout stain-wipes are a godsend.

Hi
If you go to the Search this Forum box near the top, and type in the word
Pack, you will see lots of suggestions from many people.
Suggestions range from umbrellas and jackets to personal preferences
like washcloths, tissues, and extra dry socks.

I have files on London and Paris; if you'd like to see them, email me at

Black clothes, black clothes, and more black clothes.
(You'll catch my drift if you do a search under "What to Wear in Europe." By the way, I never wear black clothes while in Europe.)

Over the counter medicines that you may need, like certain antihistimines or antacids. (They may not be OTC in London or Paris.) Extra walking shoes for when the ones you're wearing get soaked. Big ziplock bags for whatever. (Useful for keeping things organized if your luggage is opened by customs.)

Those Shout stain-wipes will do nothing to get rid of an olive oil stain. Tip: If you dribble olive oil on your boob, try to dribble some on your other so at least they'll look even.

Holly: LOL!

That's about the funniest thing I've read today!

Thanks for a good laugh!

Okay, that made me spit my soup out! Very funny, yet knowing me, great advice!
