Re: What to Pack for the Trip to Spain/Italy
Hello Everyone,
Some clarifications for you:
- I have been advised that it is not necessary to bring sheets
- a water bottle would be good to have with you (the tap water is safe to drink)
- a pillow will also help especially for the night on the bus
- some packed food (nuts, chips, etc)
- a universal adaptor (to charge your camera, phone)
- we will order a carton chair for you for sitting at the ceremonies (the cost is 4 Euros)
That's it for now!

Hello Everyone!
There are about 8 more days for our trip! Are you excited?!
Here are some things that we thought would be good to take with you on the trip.
• It will be warm during the day (about 20 C) and cool at night (about 10 C), so the key is to wear layers of clothing... Lourdes will be cooler as we will be in the mountains...
o 2 nice outfits for the ceremonies in Madrid and Rome
o Closed shoes as it will be cool at night
o Comfortable shoes to walk
o Scarves would be very useful
o Socks if you will be wearing trousers
o Stockings if you will be wearing skirts
• Towels
• Sheets
If there is anything else, I will let you know.
See you soon!
Shivanthi
