I keep all my Italy packing lists in my computer and get laughed at! It is so easy to pack when everything is on paper…10 minutes! This is SO validating!
Bag Balm (cow udder stuff) is also great for sore, dry feet!
Have a great time!
The cow udder stuff is just that – it’s this balm created to help cows when they get sore from milking. It also happens to help bikers when they get sore in those nether regions ;).
Jerry – see later postings – Chris packs the wine, but not a lot b/c there’s a wine store here we love and will visit on Monday to purchase for the week. 🙂
I have finished Evanovich 14 – a great summer read – far better than 13 which I found a little slow. Where is the wine on your pakcing list? Such a glaring omission! *smile*
Have a great trip.
Cow udder stuff? Ok, what the heck is that? I just read your last trip posts briefly. Sounds like a great trip! Have a wonderful time!! Sorry I will miss you in Newark.
