Packing List
Items that could be useful to carry along when voyaging to the FSU and visiting - based on suggestions/experiences by:
- Clothing and Shoes (I wrote this because someone would mention it otherwise)
- Sports coat
- Spring jacket (I'm going late April)
- Prescriptions
- Current Converter
- Phone charger
- Copies of all your documents
- Aspirin, Pepto, general toiletries
- Ziploc bags
- Baby wipes (for cleaning hands while out and about)
- Travel pillow
- Money Belt
Calmissile:
- 220 V European adapter plugs for computer and various chargers.
- Misc. chargers for electronics (tablet, computer, camera, etc.)
- Misc. accessory cords for downloading photos, etc between media.
- Spare thumb drives, etc.
- Phone numbers and addresses for Russia contacts and USA contacts including banks, etc.
- You might want to take a small gift that is made in the USA that depicts something about the country. Maps, Flags, Disneyland Shirts were popular for my wife's family. 7. Handheld GPS (even though she will be leading you around, it is interesting to follow on the GPS where you go and where you have been). 8. I don't recall her English skills, but my wife and I used an electronic translator quite a bit. Both on computer and tablet.
Mendeleyev:
- A couple of small flashlights.
- Several packets of travel tissues. You will not only use them to blow your nose, but as napkins, and as toilet tissue when out and about, or one the train. In winter I recommend about 4 packets for each week stay.
- A printed Moscow Metro map. http://engl.mosmetro.ru/flash/scheme01.html
- An umbrella.
- A notepad and ink pens. Helpful for all sort of uses from writing down directions to copying words you see that you'd like to learn.
- Several cloth/fabric shopping bags. They take very little space and weigh nothing. But are indispensable when out and about, and especially on the train.
- At least one canvas type lined shopping bag, the thin but lined type designed to keep things cold in summer. These are absolutely handy to keep things things such as cameras, books, metro maps, souvenirs, etc, dry from the elements.
