As many of you know my husband and I went to Europe a couple of weeks ago and we visited 3 different countries and many cities. We were also on a cruise on this trip, hence so many cities… Well, packing was quite an interesting endeavor because since we were on a cruise we needed clothes to change at night before dinner. Especially because we spent the whole day walking around and to make things worse we had a lot of rain while we were there.
I was able to fit everything in a medium size bag and a carry on and I included 2 outfits per day (good thing it was warm weather so that it is less clothes and smaller too). I have pictures here from the different outfits I wore during the day on our tours. We visited Rome, Pisa, Pompeii, Palma de Mallorca, Barcelona and Cannes. The one day I did not get right was the day we stopped in Barcelona and we were told it was not supposed to rain, so I left the ship without a rain jacket and needless to say, it did rain and we got soaking wet. Many of the pictures I have my rain jacket because unfortunately it rained more often than we would have liked.
My suggestions to people who travel in the summer months is to take leggings, basic t-shirts with different scarves that become the pop of color. This was basically my uniform and added kimonos as needed and depending on the color of my pants. These were great because they don’t take a lot of space in the bags, they don’t wrinkle and don’t weight much either.
