What to Pack

Packing is probably one of the most emotionally draining parts of the whole thing!

One great resource that I came across said, “Bring half of what you think you need, and twice as much money.”

The old adage is true:  less is more.

Pretty much everything you could ever want you can get in Spain.  Well, with the possible exception of plus sized clothing - THAT is hard to find!  Just for reference sake, when John and I have traveled to Spain together, we’ve shared one medium sized suitcase for our 2 week trip.

So - with the above in mind, here’s an idea of some stuff that you could take with you if you really wanted to!  This is as broad and as wide a list of stuff as imaginable.  DON’T take all of this!  (Remember to check out the State Department’s warnings about what is and isn’t allowed at any given time!  http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm )
