Discreet Urine Shields for Ladies!
I just heard about this idea for ladies visiting other countries that don't have toilets like in the USA. The Web site is:

I need a detailed map of Belgrade. I am willing to pay for it but only in US$s. I found a few websites but they all want B pds or something else. I even checked Amazon but it's only the UK one that has something.

Thanks

I have gone on line to several stores but can't find what I'm looking for.
My husband would like a small backpack with an insulated pocket for a water bottle.
Would appreciate any info.
Take care;
Jo

J, I found an insulated bag just for the water bottle, (Polar Pack), I think this could be a good substitute, if you dont find a backpack with it built in. (I bought mine at Ross Discount stores for less that $2)I am sure target or similar stores have them.

Californian; Thank you- you are so right. I just got home from Target and found exactly what I was looking for. It's called Backpack Cooler, measures 18x11, lightweight, and has an insulated section for water or pop.
Again, thank you.
Take care;
Jo

Thank you for the great checklist, Owen. My husband and I will be taking our first trip to Italy Sept. 15, Highlights of Italy & Sicily. Any specific advice for first timers? We're from Toronto and would like to know if anyone else is taking the same tour.

Will have no problem tasting all the wine. We fly from Toronto on Air Canada, but unfortunately have to stop in Munich and take Luftansia from there to Rome.

My husband and I just returned in May. My tip "Dr. Scholl's Gel Inserts" and bring a couple pairs. Also, we traveled light; one bag (carry on size), each. However, I rolled up a huge duffel bag in order to bring home my Wine, leather and all the other fun stuff you can't live without. When we left, we just checked it all. The carry on made it alot easier for traveling through the various airports when entering different countries, as we did not have to keep going to baggage claim before each flight.

You will have so much fun and trust me, it is so liberating to travel light.
