Don't buy one in Paris, it cost a fortune. <br />I have traveled with both kinds, 2wheelers and 4 wheeler bags. The extra wheels take up space and also if you are slightly heavier on one side, it tends to fall over. This may just be mine, I suggest you try wheeling them around in the store before committing.<br />Love your blog.sallyinthealleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-70872823085287744352012-10-24T22:07:49.572-04:002012-10-24T22:07:49.572-04:00I haven't painted the marks yet, but I think I...I haven't painted the marks yet, but I think I will do it in silver metallic or white spray paint,in a stencil,some fun shape.Light color or bright so it shows up. But any oil based paint will probably work. Have fun!

You select where you are and where you want to go and it gives you a route- least stops, quickest, etc. There is also a map of the metro. It was cheap, too. Not free but inexpensive. There are lots of others, too, some free with good ratings.<br />Bon voyage! Can't wait to follow your adventures.

I may not take one all the way from Australia, but I think I'll be able to reuse them whilst I'm there- although travelling with a family I often buy a box of 6, rather than one or two. I can see why you're excited about your new bag and camera. Your metro teatowel idea is inspired too. Have you tried those crushable maps? I'm thinking of getting one of those. I must check out the shoes too.

And ...Your packing tips are always helpful,and fun!<br />And they give me hope that I will be packing again for Paris some day. I like 16G memory cards (and I really hate it when people tell me I am taking TOO MANY pictures) I always take a tiny flash light.& I bring zip lock bags of different sizes.& I must have my noise cancelling head phones. I just bought a new suitcase and I think I will make bright marks on the bottom by the wheels so I can see it on the baggage carousel even if it is upside down or backwards . I will look for those shoes,they look interesting & comfy . Have a fun trip& enjoy the new macaron flavors!

I always wear my good luck shirt (I have a history of being a chicken flier);the same purse, regardless of the season, because it holds everything I need for wandering around Paris all day; a pair of dark socks (I don't want to SEE what's on the floor in the plane's bathroom); my fave Paris Circulation map; and comfy flats. My next trip to Paris is in March ;( and I will definitely take my Repettos along. <br />BTW, how do you store your zillions of pictures while you travel?
