What to Pack
Last Updated: Jan. 06, 2012
Whether you’re a seasoned veteran, or taking your first big trip overseas, deciding on what to pack is an important decision.
Suggested packing lists for tours to:
- Australia – Swimmers? Sunscreen? Jeans or Shorts?
- New Zealand – A jacket in the middle of Summer? You better believe it.
- USA and Canada – What to bring to look good and stay comfortable; from California beaches to Vegas nightclubs to the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple.
- Egypt – How to best deal with the desert heat.
- Europe – Summer – All that you need to survive, look good, and be comfortable on beaches of the French Riviera, to the fashion capitals of Rome, Paris and London.
- Europe – Winter – Jackets? Scarves? Sweaters? What you need to pack and what you should leave at home.
What to Pack
- Carry on Luggage – What to pack for your flight.
- Day Bag – What’s a day bag and why do you need one?
- Dress Code for Europe – What to wear to fit in Euro-style.
- Shoes – what shoes to pack when you want to look good but also be practical.
- Power Adapters – adapters? converters? What’s the difference between them and what do you need for your tour?
- Suitcase or Backpack? – Figuring out what to bring is easy compared to what to put it all in.
- Weight and Size Limits – Airlines aren’t the only ones with weight and size restrictions…

many lives were lost to allow this man to roam free even if his test were inconclusive. They should have relieved him of his passport when they found out that he was not an American citizen.

I must say – the bloggers are spamming here. They don’t have any Idea about the content and have just spread a shit here. The admin must be stricter about this bloggers and have to create a spam-filter for this shit comments. They are just destroying the environment here.

One important packing tip — If traveling with a companion or spouse, divide your checked items into two (or more) suitcases. siemens appliances

I went to Bali not long ago with my brother and we did lotsssss of shopping. When we went to pack to come home nothing fitted.
We found that rolling out clothes created more space and the clothes took up a smaller portion of the suitcase.First we folded them as normal, then rolled them (down the length). Our clothes just stacked into a couple of small rows and then everything else fitted around :)

For women, conservative clothing that covers you knees and shoulders (no halter neck or mid-riff tops, short shorts, etc) is not a must but is encouraged as it is respectful of the local culture. Even for men, long, light clothes are also recommended as they help protect you from the sun. Dressier but still light and comfortable clothes are also recommend for evening meals if that is you style. new ford

Pack enough clothes to last a week and then u can always wash and dry them at the sites, probably recommend not to carry such a big suitcase like i did, going up the stairs at the chateau and also in Austria was such a pain, also girls recommend pack a few dresses u go out alot and don’t actually have much time to do shopping unless you miss some excursions and I wouldn’t recommend that.

I’m a bit confused, in my Contiki vouchers pack it syas jeans are not acceptable for European Nite glubs but here it says:
“Most of the time jeans and a t-shirt is more than enough with some bars and venues even allowing entry with shorts and flip flops.”
So which is it, are jeans acceptable or not?

On my first Contiki tour I was nervous about taking my digital camera, so I took a few of those cheap disposable cameras instead. Huge mistake. Take your digital camera with you everywhere. If you don’t have one, buy one before you go. Or do what I did … make friends with the person on your tour who has the nicest camera. They will carry their camera everywhere and take a bunch of pics with you in them. (Thanks Lisa!)

Make sure you try currywurst in Germany. It's basically a hot dog with tomato sauce (ketchup) and curry powder. Tastes brilliant and only costs 1 or 2 Euro.
I went alone last summer (06). I met some wonderful people…I liked it so much, that I am going on the London + Paris trip next week (alone again).
If you have a high-def video camera, be sure to take it on a hike with you to the bottom of the canyon. HD is the only way to bring out the gorgeous contrast of blue sky and red rock that you'll want to show everyone at home.
