  • Accommodations:  You are might need converters  for your electronic plug-ins.  Think about voltage adaptors  as well. 
  • Variable Weather:  In many European countries, the weather can change very rapidly from dry to wet or hot to cold.  Be ready for anything with an umbrella  and jacket .
  • Sightseeing:  There's something to see in every destination, so bring a comfortable pair of walking shoes  and binoculars .  Don't forget the camera !

  • Skiing: For those heading to the Alps, you will absolutely want to ski.  Look for skiing equipment  and bring heavy jackets  and snow boots  for the cold weather!
  • Golfing: Many landscapes in Europe offer excellent golfing.  Hit the links with your personal set of clubs . 
  • Wineries: Know what you are talking about before you get there by checking out a wine guide
