Along the same lines as a sweater I always tell women to pack a light scarf to keep in their bag that they can throw over their shoulders on very hot days when entering a church. <strong><em>Great idea on the scarf.

Great idea on the scarf. They are also nice in the winter so you can change your look without packing lots of different colors of clothes.

A booklight is useful if you like to read in bed (and can double as a flashlight to light your way to the bathroom). A list of addresses for postcards.

Hotels in Italy do not provide them. I've stayed in many throughout northern Italy and never ever has there been a wash clothe. Great list and as one who spends 4 months a year in Italy, I can attest to the value and practicality of each of the five you've mentioned. <strong><em>Ooooh, GREAT tip. Great, Great, Great! You are right, they don't have washcloths in Italy. We bought some in America that we can offer to our American guests, but we don't use them often, so sometimes, uhm, we forget. :-)</em></strong> Here’s another suggestion to add to your great and “must follow” list…a wash clothe.

Anytime anywhere in the world when I see someone wearing nice shiny new white sneakers i immediately think 'american'. The one thing I would tell people is to bring a SMALL suitcase/ bag. I don't know how many people have come to visit me who complain that their luggage did not fit in the luggage racks on trains, was too big for elevators and almost always too big to fit in the trunk of my car!! Pack LIGHT! <strong><em>Ha, that is funny re: the shoes. And yes-PACK LIGHT!</em></strong> Great suggestions, laughed when i read about ‘dark coloured’ comfortable shoes.
