I'm new here, but I checked out a lot of the useful information on these boards last night at work. My brother and I are planning on taking a 15 day trip to Ireland starting May 23rd. We will be planning on hitting up a lot of different places We're flying into Shannon, and going straight to Galway for a couple days. Other cities we'd like to go to are Cork, Limerick, Kilkenny, Kilarney, Dublin (only for a day though), etc. We are trying to pack as lightly as possible, so I figured I'd give a list of things we're planning on taking. I will mark the items we still need to buy before going with a * and you can tell me if it's worth it or not.
-Duffel Bags (to put our backpacks inside at the airport) *
-TSA approved lock (to lock the main zipper of the duffel bag) *
-Small Notebook *
-Small LED Flashlight *
-Elastic Clothesline *
-Small thing of detergent/soap for laundry *
-small first aid kit *
-sewing kit *
-swiss army knife *
-ear plugs *
-sleep sheet *
-quick dry towel
-odor eaters *
-watch with alarm *
-small mp3 player (cheap old one that I don't use much anymore)
-harmonica (i love music, and I think it would be a good way to meet people)
-guide book (maybe tear out pages if it's really big)
-deck of cards
-portable umbrella
-day pack
-plastic gallon bags *
-various toiletries
Clothes:
-3 tshirts
-1 long sleeve shirt
-1 kinda dressy button up shirt
-1 light windbreaker
-2 light pairs of pants (dark khakis)
-4 pair underwear/socks
-mesh shorts
-tennis shoes (saucony's)
-flip flops
-dressy pair of shoes?
A couple things I was thinking of bringing, but not sure if it's worth it:
-1 pair of jeans (they would take forever to dry.. )
-cheap paperback book or two
Note that since my brother and I are going, we can likely share some of the things (first aid, sewing kit, boks, detergent, toiletries) so some of the stuff won't be taking up room in both of our packs. I really want to pack as lightly as possible, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm also planning on getting cheap shirts from a thrift store so that if they get too nasty, I can just toss them.
