What should I bring on My 10 day trip to France?
I need a list of things that I should bring in my carry-on. So far I have: •Earplugs •Sleep mask •iPod •Magazines •Paperback books •Face wash •Moisturizer •Toner •Portable DVD player •Dry shampoo spray •Detangle spray •Chap stick •Pain relief pills •Laptop •Neck pillow •Blanket •Gum •Over the counter chewing gum for airplanes? •DVDs •Phone •Camera •Pashmina (?) •Travel wallet •Glasses •Sunglasses •Contact case •Cosmetic kit, including liquids in a quart-sized plastic bag •Comb and brush •Vitamins Anything I am missing? Am I allowed to bring food of my own? I don't think I will like the airplane food. I am a vegetarian. Also, France doesn't have peanut butter so am I allowed to bring peanut butter in my suitcase? I will probably bring a few jars. Does my purse count as one of my carry ons and how many carry ons can I have? I don't want to look like a tourist when I go so what outfits should I bring? I will be going there next summer. I will probably be walking a lot! solutions? maybe dr scholls foot padding in my nice shoes? what do people in france wear in the summer? how can I save money on this trip? Btw, I am a girl. In case you needed that for the list. also, what should I bring to france in general? I am not sure of the exact length of the flight but I am sure that it will be a long one. Also, any suggestions of how to get prepared/inspired for the trip? I was thinking mary kate and ashley's passport to paris. I know, its kiddy but the movies are cute in a cheesy way! In case I wasn't clear enough before, I NEED the peaunut butter. this is one of the big sources of protein for me and from what I have noticed, most of the famous french dishes are not vegetarian. Besides not eating meat, I am just a picky eater in general. Though I may try to broaden my horizons in Paris and try foods I wouldn't normally eat, I will still probably not like them. Unfortunately, this is just what usually happens. I WISH I wasn't a picky eater, but thats just the way I am. The list of items above is just for the plane ride! I know that I will need money, okay?

Wow trip to Paris sounds exciting - I went last year. First things first, don't bring stuff you don't currently use such as dry shampoo, ear plugs, sleeping mask etc. Ear plugs barely help on a plane. I know this sounds daft, but dress how you normally dress and they won't realise you are a tourist. Make sure to bring something conservative for going in the lovely old churches. They'll jnow you're a tourist if you wear the Paris t-shirts or stumble around with a big map. The BEST thing I did before going to Paris was order all the transport passes and cultural/museum/exhibit passes. This way you jump the long queues everywhere (only place you couldn't jump the line was up the tower of notre dame). Also meant I didn't have to queue to buy the passes in France from someone who doesn't speak English and stepped right off the plane, flashed my train tickets and zoomed into Gare du Nord whilst everyone else was trying to buy tickets. You can buy all these passes online -heaps of places sell them. Also you are taking waaaay too much on board - ditch thr moisturiser, toner, detangle spray, neck pillow, blanket from your list, you don't need detangle spray on a plane! :-P Blanket and pillow you get on board. Ditto you don't need a dvd player and dvds - you have your own entertainment system in the seat. Take one book, not heaps plus magazines. You're not going to Paris to read so you're not gonna get through several mags and books in 10 days. Ditch the several jars of peanut butter too - you're there for 10 days, just go without it and buy french food!!!

wow! that would be a nice trip. dont bring your blanket, your hotel will provide that. bring only your camera, phone, cash (the most important thing). dvds & magazines, what for? neck pillow? for sure you can only use that in the plane.. bring lite stuffs!
