Which trip are you doing? We are also doing London/Paris in Aug. We are doing Aug 13!
We will have my well traveled DDs (16 and 19) on our trip. Sounds like there will be a lot of small kids on our ABD... Im sure my DDs will wish they were on your Adults only ABD - LOL! (they've had enough of little kids since they are camp counselors)We’ll be right after you, we’re doing the Aug 23rd adults only trip!
we are doing the ABD adult only London/Paris trip in August. A couple of questions about clothing and cameras.
Do we need to worry about buying pick pocket proof items and/or clothing or is just being vigilant enough?
It looks like casual clothes are for the most part the norm. Are khakis or jeans too casual? We’ll have a couple of nicer outfits for a few of the evenings, but I’m thinking pretty casual for the day to day touring. Is that a mistake?
I plan on bringing our mirrorless camera in addition to our cell phones. I have a nice, small cross body case for it. Will this be a pain to carry around with us?
Thanks![/QUOT
My wife and I are on the August 24th London Paris Adventure. Maybe this is the same one as you?
Just got back from London and Paris, and we were really worried about theft and it was a non - issue for us. We felt very save in both cities. I carried a cross body purse with no issues. Causal clothes are perfect for day to day touring. I prefer to wear work out material tops which are more comfortable for hot weather touring. Enjoy!Do we need to worry about buying pick pocket proof items and/or clothing or is just being vigilant enough?

I got a small 20L "pac-safe" bag to carry my own things around, but it keeps getting "dinged" at airport security because it has a metal mesh in it to stop slash and grab crime (actually, I flew back home via Amsterdam after my time in Europe, and the security there told me I should get a different bag as some security screeners may refuse to let me carry it on the plane due to all the metal within it...really strange...) Totally unnecessary I've found and I now carry around Eddie Bauer's new 20L packable backpack. I didn't fear at all when I was there a few weeks ago.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I too have a small Packsafe bag with a wire mesh. I took it on both of my river cruises but I put in it the suitcase that I checked with the airline. I'm going to make sure that I don't ever try to bring it as a carry-on item.
