American Schnitzel

Here are some things you don't want to forget to pack and maybe extras when going over seas. A good word of advice that I can give is if you are coming from either any one of the Americas or countries that are not in the European Union most chances are everything is cheaper in your home land. Truth is everybody knows the best place for quality and price when they have lived there for sometime so it is better to buy more than you would normally would. Ontop of knowing where to go, you can easly communicate with another person and less chance of miscommunication.

Which is I think the best part since during Kristall nacht a lot of Nazis came in and completely destroyed all the old headstones and used some as stones for a paved road.( it is also a famous scene in the movie ''Schindler's L...

Packing has always been something I never enjoyed when I travel. I always make a list of certain things I don't want to forget and feel like I am going to end up forgetting something REALLY important like underwear. So this post is to help people who are wanting to travel mostly over seas and are afraid of taking too little or too much. Giving a good idea of what every person needs in their luggage while they are away. Also remembering there will be a limit to weight and the amount of number bags you can take with you when flying. So don't fill your XL suitcase to the brim. Suitcase #1  (Your biggest suitcase) - 7 to 10 pairs of socks, depending what shoes you will wear and the weather. - 10 Pairs of underwear. - 1 Nicer outfit (dress or button down shirt) - 10 Shirts (since you might want to change before going for dinner) - 3 to 4 pairs of pants/shorts - (if you are female and traveling in Spring or summer) 2-3 skirts/dresses - 2 Pairs of Jamies - Hair brush/com...
