For this Trip You May Want—

• Rain jacket
• Lightweight but warm jacket or sweater
• One smart-casual outfit if you’d like to dress up a bit for dinners.
• Swimsuit
• Bring what you need to get a good night's sleep, such as ear plugs, white noise generator, sleeping pills, etc. Unfamiliar noises of all types can disrupt your rest.

Good Packing Habits—

• Pack a limited amount of comfortable, casual clothing that layer and coordinate. Your fellow travelers will not mind or even notice – seeing you in the same clothing.
• Bring only two pairs of everyday shoes: one pair of well-broken-in walking shoes, and a second pair that could do double-duty as a walking shoe or a slightly dressy shoe.
• Pare down your beauty regimen to the bare minimum and always pack travel-sized toiletries.
• Pack medication in your carry-on and pack only as much as needed for the duration of your tour plus a few extra days as a precaution.

On every WTT tour, our policies regarding luggage restrictions are driven by the physical space limitations of our vehicles and the requirement that all travelers be able to manage their own belongings without assistance.

• It is best to travel as lightly as possible.  Most travelers regret when they have packed too much.
• You may bring one suitcase plus one carry-on. We strongly suggest your suitcase be no larger than 26 inches high as measured from the FLOOR to the top of the retracted handle. The medium-size in a 3-piece luggage set easily meets this requirement and will be plenty roomy for this length of trip.
• If you carry a purse, it should be worn across your body, hands-free.
• You are responsible for managing your own belongings. We expect you to take your belongings from the coach to your room and to bring it back to the coach on days we change hotels. We do not provide luggage pulls; they are not safe and are inconvenient.
• Steps exist at most hotel entrances. On occasion the coach must unload passengers and luggage some distance from the hotel entrance.
• If you are planning on shopping, have larger items shipped directly to your home. For smaller items you want to carry home, bring a small nylon zippered bag packed in your suitcase to accommodate these purchases.

Only you can determine your need to stay in contact while traveling. Internet access is available in most hotels, sometimes for a fee.

• If you are bringing a cell phone, contact your cell phone service provider before departing about adding international calling and/or texting features.  Texting internationally is often less expensive than placing a cell phone call.
• Learn how to make an international call BEFORE you leave. Consult your cell provider and check out the web site www.HowtoCallAbroad.com.

You may need to purchase an adapter. To determine the electric plug configuration needed for your destination, refer to http://www.iec.ch/worldplugs/list_bylocation.html. A universal adaptor supports a wide variety of sockets/plugs. You should also check your electronic devices for voltage compatibility. Many countries operate on 220V or 230V, which differs from most of North America.  Most of today's electronics (laptops, phone chargers etc.) are multi-voltage and will work worldwide automatically, without a transformer.  Consult your owner's manual for further details.

Only you can determine the optimum amount of cash to take on tour. When budgeting for out-of-pocket expenses, there are several aspects to consider:  the number of meals you are responsible for, the amount of money you like to have on-hand for snacks and drinks, and your individual shopping interests and habits. 

• Notify your credit card issuer that you will be traveling and provide dates of travel.
• ATMs are typically the best way of obtaining cash; they are found in most towns and cities; you must know your PIN number for your debit and credit cards in order to use the ATMs.
• The official currency for both Ireland and Northern Ireland is the Euro. 
• Exchange $100 or so into local local currency so you have cash upon arrival.
• Be sure to keep cash on hand for cabs, tips, smaller purchases, etc.

All tips to local guides during your tour have already been paid on your behalf.

• You are responsible for tipping transfer drivers, wait-staff, porters, or other individuals who provide a personal service to you at the hotel, or other public locations.
• Typically if a restaurant bill lists a service charge or adds “service included” then a tip is not necessary. If nothing is noted, a server will expect a 10% to 15% tip. Tipping personnel in pubs does not happen. Personnel in cafes and bistros typically have a tip jar located by the register. Hotel personnel do not expect tips but will accept them for excellent service.
• You may want to tip your WTT Tour Leader for an outstanding job. The amount is entirely a personal preference. If you'd like a guideline, consider $7-$10 per day. 

• Travelers are required to have a valid passport. Most countries require your passport to be valid a minimum of six months after your return home date, and have at least two consecutive blank pages.

• US Citizens entering Ireland will not require a VISA. Travelers from Canada and other countries should check their entry requirements with their consulate. VISA requirements are based on your country of residence.
