This year my mom turned 50 and I wanted to surprise her with a gift that would be both memorable and exciting. My brothers and I thought what better way to celebrate a mile stone than to take her to visit one of the most ancient cities in the world ITALY!
Our upcoming trip will begin in Rome followed by Florence, and conclude in Venice.

To enjoy your stay in the Eternal City you need to carry the right clothes so you can comfortably take in all of the beautiful Italian sights. Here is my Italy packing list to help you decide what to wear in Rome and other tips for travelers visiting the city during the fall:
Clothing
2 pairs of walking/comfortable shoes (one closed toe/one open, weather permitting)
1 rainproof jacket
2 pairs of pants (one dressy, one casual; cotton blend is recommended: when washed, it dries faster than jeans)
1 belt (optional)
4 pairs of socks (cotton blend)
5 pairs of underwear (silk, lace, or micro-fiber dries quickest)
1 lace bra
4–6 shirts (long/short-sleeved, various colors)
1–2 light cardigans for layering
1–2 skirts (wrinkle-resistant; one should be at least knee-length for church visits)
1 dress (optional)
Hat (optional)
Scarf (optional)
Vest (optional; great for layering)
Sleepwear
Toiletries/Medicine
Body soap/puff/synthetic washcloth; most European hotels do not supply washcloths
Toothbrush/toothpaste/floss
Shampoo/conditioner
Brush/comb
Lotion (spf recommended)
Vaseline (for feet; great for potential blisters)
Razor (non-electric)
Sunscreen, insect repellent
Prescription drugs (in original container with your name and your doctor's name, write down generic name)
First aid kit
Feminine hygiene products
Deodorant
Nail clippers/file/tweezers
Spare glasses and/or prescription, mini-eyeglass repair kit, or contact lenses and supplies
Hand sanitizer
Vitamins
For the rest of what you'll want to pack (documents, money, travel info, and some creative extras)

I traveled with a full size backpack on a previous trip to Indonesia and quickly realized I didn't need most of the items I brought with me.
A couple of months into the trip I couldn’t stand lugging around all the weight and ended up tossing both the bag and its contents. I trashed the stuff I hadn’t been using – mostly clothes (extra jeans, sweaters, shirts) and decided to travel only with the carry on and the detachable day pack which was the best decision I could have made.
For this trip, I made sure not to repeat my mistakes and planned each item very carefully.

Please note: Most of Europe’s Budget Airlines have this Carryon Bag Allowance: 55cm x 40cm x 20cm. Always check your airlines individual baggage rules and regulations in advance.
