Packing!

Packing-Wow, it really helps to have an ultra-organized mother/father for this task! 

Things You Should DEFINITELY Bring: 
-Modest clothing! (for all seasons) (And shorts to wear under your skirt--once you leave Meah She'arim, you can just whip that skirt off and be cool again!) 
-Comfortable shoes are a must, especially for Jerusalem. I recommend padded sneakers. 
-Bring enough toiletries, especially make-up--make-up is about 3X more expensive here in Israel! 
-Bug spray and sunscreen! 
-A Lonely Planet. 
-A driver's license for renting a car, and extra passport copies. 

Things You can buy without too much expense: 
-Buy towels and sheets here, because they take up so much room. 
-"Hippie"-ish clothes. 
-Judaica. 
-Flip-flops (I love the Haviannas with Israeli flags--thanks Sarah!)
