So in 3 weeks we will be heading to Europe! I am getting very excited and have even started my packing pile. Here is the start to the pile. I have no clue what kind of clothes to bring. The average highs where we are going range from 68 to 72 degrees. Which if sunny and humid could be shorts/capris weather but if cloudy/non-humid could be pants and jacket weather. I am also planning on getting by with 5 outfits and 2 pair of shoes. Last time we brought 6 outfits but since we will be gone less time I figure 5 should be plenty. Well here is my packing pile: And because I am an anal about planning here is the list of books and maps Derek and I have bought.
For me we have: Rick Steves Vienna/Salzburg/Tirol, Lonely Planet Central Europe, Streetwise Map Vienna and Streetwise Map Prague. For Derek we have: DK Eyewitness Travel Vienna, DK Eyewitness Budapest, and Rick Steves German Dictionary. I know it is a crime, but I rip up the books I buy before we leave and just take the parts I will use. I figure by the time we go back the book will be outdated and I wouldn't use it again anyways. Derek will take the whole Eyewitness books to read more information about the sites we are visiting. And because I know I am going to ruin my diet over there here are a few of the foods I am most looking forward to eating, yum!
