Trip to Europe in 2013?

Q. On a School trip June of 2013 since I'll be going to College August 2013. It's by EFtours. Have you ever been? What is it like? What did you do. I'll b without parents, and while it sounds exciting, but I'm kinda of scared to be in a foregin country, I mean this is a once in a lifetime oppertunity.

We're going to France and Italy, and taking a train from Paris to Rome or Rome to Paris. We'll be gone from 7 to 10 days. Anything I should know. Just to be prepared, what should I pack? We're premitted a carry on and suitcase per student. They tell us what to bring, but how much.

NEED TO KNOW:
What should I pack into my carry on bag?

Warped Tour 2013 Help?

Q. * Yes, I know it's early to be worrying about this, but it been two years since my first Warped Tour experience, and last time, it didn't go so well... The music was great, but it was very tiring and hot... so any tips on how to survive it would be great!

Okay, so do you guys think I'll get too hot and sweaty wearing this outfit during Warped? I'm planning to bring an extra outfit with me just in case.

- Shorts
- Band T-shirt
- Flannel (I get easily burned, so I was planning to bring this along just in case. Yes, I'm going to wear sunblock... a whole lot of it.)
- Sneakers
- A backpack
Oh, one more thing. I wear glasses, would the chances on having them broken be high?

* QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT I SHOULD BRING ALONG.

How big should the backpack be?
Camera or no camera?
Should I just use my phone to record?
Items that I should bring along?

* How much money should I bring, and how much do t-shirts/hoodies/cd's/etc cost?

Any other tips would be great! Thanks so much lovelies~ c:

A. --That outfit sounds fine. You can definitely bring the flannel if you think you might need it, but i would not suggest wearing it very often, if you can don't wear it at all. I know you're afraid of burns, but you also want to think about overheating, or heat stroke. That's also a very real danger, not to freak you out or anything lol but just something you might want to think about. Also be sure the shoes are something you can wear all day and that your feet won't hurt walking around all day. They don't really have seats at warped, so just remember that and choose your shoes wisely. Remember, NO flip flops!
---You should also make sure the backpack is light enough so its not annoyingly large or uncomfortable, but you should still be able to fit most if not all of your stuff in it. A regular draw string back usually works best.
---A camera is always a good idea. It doesn't have to be a big fancy one, but i suggest you bring a small digital with you.
---You can use your phone. Just make sure its got enough space for all the videos and that its charged completely before you go. You can also use your camera if you wish. I kinda used both last year.
---Bring a water bottle, small snack, pen/notebook (for autographs), a jacket with a hood in case of rain
---I'd say at least $60. It sounds like a lot, but merch can cost anywhere from about $2 to $25, or more, plus if you want food that's expensive too.

I'm sorry you didn't have fun last time, i hope this helps and i hope you have lots of fun this time! :)
