Answer 1

If you are planning on taking any electrical items with you - such as hair care appliances, rechargeable appliances, laptop PCs, etc. then you should pack an international travelers power adapter kit if you intend to be able to use said appliances.

Also, consider taking rain wear since it can be very wet in those areas that you have mentioned (depending on the time of year).

Also, if you intend to keep the cost of extra luggage transit fees low then I suggest that you take more on the underwear side and 2 or 3 outfits than can be mixed and matched. There are (contrary to popular belief) laundromats outside of the United States so you can always launder your outfits and there are some excellent fashion outlets in the UK where you can purchase stuff whilst you are there.

Personally, I would plan for the fact that you will most likely be bringing back more than you take with you in the first place and pack light - just make sure you have the essentials.

BTW... if you have a cell phone and plan to take it with you... visit your local cellular store and inquire about tri-band phones.
Most US cell phones operate on the D-AMPS network whereas most European cell phones operate on the GSM network so you'll need a phone that works in Europe.

Answer 3

You should make a list of things you need to pack first and make sure you bring it with you so you leave with everything you came with! I packed about a week in advance but I made the list about a month early so I would have time to add anything I thought of later! Also, make sure you bring chapstick!! I went to France last summer and my lips somehow got really chapped an believe me, wandering around Paris surrounded by a bunch of rude French people is not fun! Edit: regarding my question, yes crochet hooks are allowed on planes.

Answer 4

Just take an empty suitcase, a LOT of Euros and some perfume... That is ALL you need!
