I am beginning to gather my thoughts on which clothes to pack for a two week trip to Moscow and Prague in late September.
I’m interested to know what to pack for traveling and where in Prague you recommend. Any ideas on shoes?

It is helpful to design a mantra to use when memories crawl/jump into focus. The ladies of vn know I suggest "I am a child of God, whole and perfect." In the event you find yourself gagging on the whole and perfect phrase, get over it. Whole an
I have never seen another woman's vagina, so have no idea what they look like, except mine.....I assume you mean (not vagina), But labia....the outer lips. I think it is sad you/anyone thinks any body part is ugly. Our bodies are amazing. I douRoadrunner,
Let us know how your lips turn out, mine are so thin I have often thought of doing something. But I am scared whitless!Hi girls,
Feeling a fair bit better now - thank god! I spent last night in total tears over this finally getting the divorce paper (one piece of paper printed doubled sided) signified the end of my marriage. At the time I coud not cry but whoa sur"My vagina is just ugly, seriously ugly".
Thank You! I feel the same way and it is causing me to not want to have sex with my husband. All I can think about while having sex is how ugly and flabby it is. HELP!!
Not much! A few things that don’t wrinkle and can go with everything. A pair of shoes for walking and a pair to dress something up for the evening. There are stores there if you need anything else. I find I always live off the top of my suitcase anyways.
Lucky you. I can’t wait to read about your travels.
Thank You, Joyful 53.
I went to TravelSmith and Cold Water Creek to update my travel wardrobe. Happy with what I found there. Two pairs of shoes ought to do it for walking and dress up.
Just found out this morning my nephew WILL NOT BE IN PRAGUE at that time, so I must figure out lodging. Anyone recommend hotels or B&B’s in Prague? I’ll be traveling all by myself, so I’ll try to think of this as a challenge, and not a bump in the road…
Check out Vetrnik. It’s operated by Milos Opatrny and is a 17th century old mill at the edge of town in a secure setting. It was converted to a bed and breakfast and has only about six rooms. Milos is a wonderful host and you are a short walk to the tram line taking you into old Prague. Milos is also an excellent cook and we preferred to sightsee during the day and come back “home” for his wonderful meals in a quiet dining room with a fireplace. We were there two years ago for three days and all of us (husband, grown children and grandchild) agreed it was a highlight of the trip.
Have fun! We’ love to go back!

Thank You Glenda for the suggestion. I sent a request for 8 days reservation to Pension Vetrnik today. It does look delightful! Perhaps I can venture out into the countryside too. My goal is to have accommodations finalized by this weekend. I am so excited about this trip!
I suggest you get yourself the comfiest shoes you can find. Prague is a lot of walking and is loaded with hills. The streets are all cobblestones and make for difficult walking at times. Weather is usually fairly warm with cool evenings. Casual clothes during the day and nice slacks and a blazer in the evening. You don’t need anything real dressy. Don’t take too many clothes cause you don’t need them. Get a travel book of Prague and it will give you all the highlites of places to visit.
I am envious that you are going as our son lives in Prague. We were supposed to visit in Sept. but his office has him working in Moscow for the month. Poo!!!!
Have a wonderful time. Can’t wait to hear all about it.
Thank you Mistylilacs and Haralee for the suggestions of sleepware and specific casual/dressy ideas. Have any suggestions on shoe brands you’ve found comfortable, aside from tennis shoes? I am very excited about the Prague adventure, but still undecided where to book for lodging. I go online each day, but still undecided. Any suggestions for names of B&B’s or hotels you’d recommend?
I suggest some soft but sturdy. Walking on those cobblestones is a killer so you want to be able to maneuver but not fall. Go to a good shoe store and see what they have. I wear Merrills.
Sleepwear from Haralee.Com that is light weight, folds into nothing, washes and drys quickly and and you can wear comfortably with confidence at a friend or family home or a B&B to a 5 star hotel!
Have fun!
I wear a wide, I have stubby feet so fashion shoes are not a staple in my wardrobe. I like Ecco or Niot or Merrills. They are comfortable and long lasting but they are pricey. Clarks is a pretty good brand and not as expensive, Munroe’s are nice as well.
Sounds like a great adventure!
Hi PT. September weather in Praha/Prague is any where from warm to very worm. So, I would recommend light clothing wardrobe for the day. The evenings might be little cooler. What type of clothing? Anything from casual to very dressy. It depends what you want and what social activities you are after. My favourite places are: Vysehrad (residents of past rulers of Czech nation ). Hradcany ( at noon they change guards; it was always fun to watch them) with Chram Svateho Vita, I loved to visit this cathedral; when Prazsky philharmonic orchestra was playing classical music. The cathedra is very well acoustically sounded. What ever piece they were playing, it sounded like a heavenly music. Maybe I should not be saying heavenly, I am an atheist.
It is simply very pleasant to listen to it. Karluv Most/Charel’s Bridge, Karel IV was one of my nation’s past king (one of my favourite). When my ancestors were building the bridge, they were putting whole eggs into the cement including the shells. Ha, ha, ha.. No wander the the bridge is still standing in spite all the floods and wars. Vaclavske Namesti/Vienceslav Square, it’s more of an old style market place. I usually go after paintings, fashion accessories, spices and ceramics. Orloj/historic clock, try to make it there at noon. You will not regret it. Than Zlata Ulicka and Stare Mesto. Other than that please refer to a guide and places where they offer english transliterations and guides. Many things have changed since I lived in Czech. It is wise to have a traveling companion ship. Czech is my mother tongue but these days even I would be concern of my safety. New and new people are moving in to the country. Sometimes I wonder what has happened to my homeland. Do you like beer? If so, I recommend Restaurace u Svejka. Do not go for Plzen/Pilzner or Budvar/Budweiser. These two beers taste deferent from the once we buy here still taste great but try Velkopopovicky Kozel. This beer must be drawn from a barrel and has to have a huge foam in your pitcher.
If you had a time I also would recommend Karlstein(not a part of Prague). Karel IV had 6 wifes (long story made short), his idea of marriage was six months on, and six months off type marriage. It was not until he married Eliska/Elizabeth. She fixed him good. Ha, ha, ha… Dear Karel/Charles used to spend six month at Karstein. What he called his castle. No, women allowed in this place. Boys had to do even their own laundry. Imagine that. No, washing machines at that time.
Than it would be castle Hluboka, Cesky Krumlov, Cerveny Hradek, Lipno Lednice a Moravsky Kras. Moravsky Kras is and always will be my the most favourite of them all.
Have great time.
Thank You Vera, for such a wonderful list of your favorites. I wrote each suggestion in the back of my Lonely Planet Prague Guide. I also came across Devin Castle, which looks to be out of Prague. What wonderful adventures await!
