Things I'm really glad I brought with me:
- slippers-- these came in really handy while in Locorotondo at Giorgio's parents apartment when we had to be quiet becuase the Prince was sleeping. Neither of my shoes were particularly quiet.
- ear plugs. There's been some snoring. But also, at the country house where I slept in Locorotondo, instead of using screens on the doors they use beads, a la 70's decor. It was pretty windy some nights and those beads could make quiet a racket.
- Swiss army knife. I haven't actually used it yet but I feel better just knowing I have it :)
- a long coat. It's much nicer to sit on cold park benches with an extra layer between you
Things that I forgot:
- towel-- who knows what some of the places I'll end up staying at will be like?
- hat and gloves-- um, hello?, it's winter here...
- clothes for running in the winter-- see above
- watch-- it would be nice to have a back-up alarm clock in case my phone goes dead and I can't plug it in
- adapter-- this is so obvious I can't even think off anything to say. Thankfully Laura had one I could use in London and then Giorgio had a nifty one that has retracting prongs so you only need one for many different countries that he let me use and them borrow
