manolo blahnik shoes sale Packing For Europe - 10

Once again, I am preparing for my next trip to Europe and I am determined to do a better packing job than in the past. And as I think about this trip, I remember all the trips in the past where I took clothes I never wore and lugged an over-packed bag across Europe. Not this time; I am packing light!
Rule 1
Plan ahead. Start a list of what you want to bring and what you need to buy. Pack at least a few days in advance. Packing at the last minute will ensure that you forget something important and pack a bunch of stuff you will never need. Actually I start collecting things about a week in advance, adding and eliminating items as I go.
Rule 2
Think neutral. I prefer black clothes for traveling. It is so easy to dress up and dress down with black. Black pants, jacket, and shoes go a long way. Two pair of shoes should do it. One for walking and one for dressing up a little. I think comfortable sandals can be dressy and good for walking. Use scarves and colorful shirts to jazz up your outfits. Just remember that Europe is a little dressier than the US. Skip the cut-offs, jogging outfits and running shoes , and you'll feel a lot more comfortable.
Rule 3
Plastic bags are your friend. Pack underwear and knits in compression bags that remove all the air. You can buy these special bags, but I just use regular zipper plastic bags and suck out the air with a straw until it gets very flat. Put your extra pair of shoes in a plastic bag, and always put your travel toiletries case in a plastic bag in case something springs a leak.
Rule 4
I always take a little umbrella, just in case.And I no longer take a hair dryer. Practically every hotel has a hair dryer that is minimally effective (but good enough for me) I do carry a curling iron though, and for that I bought a dual voltage model. Many curling irons are dual voltage and my Revlon model was quite inexpensive. I do need a plug adapter though, since the outlets in Europe are quite different than in the US. Which brings me to:
Rule 5
Know what electrical equipment you need before you go. Europe is on 220 volts (instead of the US 110 volt service) That means if you plug your electrical appliance into a European outlet with an Adaptor without a Converter manolo blahnik shoes sale, the sparks will fly! You will need these for your computer, camera charger, hairdryer, hair curler shaver and any other electrical appliance brought from the US.
A Converter converts the 220 volts to 110 volts so US appliances will work (without melting) An Adaptor works with the converter to adapt the US Plug to match the European outlet. To complicate matters further, not all European outlets are the same. An outlet in Great Britain is nothing like an outlet in France. For our first trip to Europe, I bought a converter and an adaptor kit that included adaptors for all Western European countries. I still use that kit.
Rule 6
Make photocopies of your passport, hotel membership cards and credit cards (with numbers to call if they get lost or stolen) and carry those in a zippered pocket in your suitcase as well as in your carry-on.
Rule 7
Don't pack anything of great value in your checked luggage. Jewelry... leave it home or wear it every day. Cameras and PDA's need to be in your carry-on.
Rule 8
Don't bring heavy Guidebooks. Print out info from travel websites and throw them away when you are finished. Pack paperback books to read and leave them behind when you are finished.
Rule 9
Pack light. Take only as much luggage as you can manage on your own. If you are taking trains, you will need to put them on and off the trains yourself. If you are staying in a 3-star hotel and even many4-star hotels, the rooms are quite small by American standards and there is very little space for extra luggage. I repeat, pack light.
Rule 10
Check the TSA site to review the rules on what you can carry aboard. (It keeps changing) And when they say that your carry-on liquids need to be in a quart sized zip-lock bag, they mean a quart sized zip-lock bag. When they say bottles must have three ounce or less, don't push it. They confiscate tons (literally) of stuff every day. And pack some extra underwear in your carry-on... just in case they lose your luggage.
I hope, by following these Packing Tips, your travels will be easier and safer.
The math types declare there is dependency in the baccarat game. Dependency means as the first half of the baccarat shoe is played it necessary determines the composition of the second half of the baccarat shoe. Therefore manolo blahnik store Overview of Nike Dunk ID Highs_925, we should be able to develop some edge over the house in the second part of the shoe since we already know which cards have been played in the first half of the shoe (of course we would have to keep track somehow to know this). Card counting pioneered and used successfully in blackjack was attemped in baccarat. The result was slightly positive but very disappointing as the player advantage was very very slight. My advise on baccarat card counting; don't waste your time, it won't work.
Other methods of extracting the "dependency" from the baccarat game have been explored.
Dr. S.H. Johnson performed extensive computer research using large volumes of live baccarat data. He studied thousands of reoccuring patterns in relation to the dominence of the shoe (banker or player) at the time the pattern occurred. He was able to extract an advantage only slightly less than created by card counting in blackjack. Dr. Johnson reports the practical limitation of this baccarat strategy is the very infrequent occurence of betting opportunies. This strained the ############'s patience when he set out two thirds of a shoe before placing his advantaged play. The play required very large bets and a large bankroll to generate a modest profit. The good doctor concluded the strategy was more of a moral victory that a practical solution to taking the advantage in the baccarat game.
