Destination packing

Trip length

Without laundry: underwear and socks for each day plus a spare; tops reused for two days. Pack extra tops for hot weather or change daily as needed.

Basic packing

Transport and entry restrictions

Flights: power banks

Keep power banks in cabin baggage, protect terminals and prevent damage; remove them if a bag is gate-checked. FAA guidance uses 100Wh as the general lithium-ion battery threshold. Your airline may impose stricter power-bank quantity, capacity, use and charging rules; verify your actual carrier before travel.

FAA PackSafe — lithium batteries Checked:

Flights: cabin liquids

At standard US TSA checkpoints, ordinary cabin liquids use containers no larger than 100mL in one clear quart-size bag. Departure and transit airports can have different rules and exceptions, including medicines, infant supplies and duty-free purchases. Check your actual airports; ship rules are separate.

TSA — travel checklist Checked:

Questions before you pack

Does a plug adapter make a Japanese appliance usable?

Check the device’s input voltage and 50Hz support as well as plug shape. Do not directly connect Japanese 100V-only heating appliances; consider accommodation equipment.

What should I check for entry?

Visa requirements depend on nationality, passport and purpose. Non-EU travellers should check official passport issue-date and remaining-validity requirements and their own entry conditions. Recheck EES/ETIAS applicability and current operation before departure; a ticket does not establish entry eligibility.

Can I visit the basilica in beachwear?

Bring separate clothing and footwear that meet the venue’s official dress requirements.

Should I bring walking shoes?

Yes. Architecture visits can involve long walks; avoid relying solely on beach sandals.
