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?
Here is their list:
Clothing
Keep in mind that some religious sites require that shirts cover the shoulders and arms, and some do not allow shorts, short skirts or flip-flops.
�Comfortable walking shoes
�Shirts (short- and long-sleeved)
�Socks and underwear
�Shorts/pants/jeans
�Pajamas
�Bathing suit (if applicable)
�Dressier outfit and shoes (reserved for a special night out)
�Raincoat and/or umbrella
Toiletries
�Toothbrush
�Toothpaste
�Shampoo/conditioner
�Soap
�Deodorant
�Hairbrush/comb

�Spare set of contact lenses/glasses (if applicable)
Money

�EF Visa Travel Card or personal credit card
�At least $50 converted to foreign currency of the first country that you�re visiting
�Pouch for storing money and passport under clothing (available at travel stores)
Electronics
�Alarm clock (many hotel rooms won't have one)
�Memory cards

�A copy of the tour itinerary
�A list of important phone numbers and addresses to send postcards home
�Copy of any prescriptions (Customs officials may want to verify that a container's contents match its label, so all medication should be carried in their original containers.)
Carry-on bag
Your EF backpack is a perfect carry-on bag! Here�s a short list of things you might need on the first day of the trip. Pack them in your carry-on in case your checked luggage is delayed.
�Passport
�Money

Am going to disneyland in 2 weeks . Am going the 21 of april of 2013 Will it rain ? What should i pack?
Q. I might get my period the 21 too -.-t. Its my first time goinq am so EXCITEEEEEDDDD!!!!!!
A. Well it is impossible to say whether it will rain at that time, the last time I was there around the end of April there were a few days with a bit of light rain, the best day was the one they actually predicted rain, there were beautiful sunny skies that day.
Late April is generally warm enough to dress reasonably light however there is always the possibility of light rain or slightly cooler than average temperatures. I always suggest bringing clothing that can be layered rather than of a specific weight at this time of year. For example light shirts or T Shirts with a sweater and light water proof shell is what my family takes when we go at this time of the year in addition to a light spring type jacket. If you are staying around Disneyland there is not a lot of requirement to dress up. I try to bring a dressy shirt and casual dress slacks just in case along with some decent looking but comfortable shoes. The important thing is to always bring comfortable walking shoes and wear clothes that you are comfortable in. You will do a lot of walking and standing while you are there so being comfortable is very important.
A couple of other suggestions. For pants I sometimes bring the ones with the zip off legs. That way if it warms up during the day it is easy to convert them to shorts. Make sure the pants you wear have deep pockets preferably ones with closures (zipper, snaps, buttons, velcro) on them (there are various cargo/travel pants available for both sexes). That way you can carry a wallet, etc in them safely with the pocket securely closed. Although Disneyland is safe enough there is always the possibility of pickpockets in the crowd. I would not suggest carrying a purse as having two free hands makes the park more enjoyable and you never have to worry about putting it down somewhere and "losing" or forgetting it. I have seen people with fanny packs but when we go we just prefer to carry what we need in our pockets. We even have a pocket sized digital camera.
Of course you need to bring personal items to meet your needs while you are there. Pack for this eventuality and leave most of them in your hotel room along with your other items. Just carry what you need with you. Another option is to rent a locker and use it as needed during the day. Just remember each time you open and close the locker it costs you money so try to limit this. We generally rent a locker, put anything required for later in the day in it then leave. If we do any souvenier shopping we drop our purchases off at the locker once we finish shopping. That way we can enjoy the various rides and attractions without worrying about packages. I generally try to set aside a certain time for shopping. This is especially handy if you more or less know what you want. I purchase, or try to, most of the items in one shopping trip. That way you can also drop all your purchases off at your hotel room then return to the park. Of course I still end up picking up small items however they either go in a locker or in my pockets (if they fit).
