Checklist for Europe...

So I'm heading out there come summer time, what sort of things should I need that are obvious and not so obvious?

I'll probably pack with me a laptop, plenty of underwear..and I'm still deciding if I should bring a miniDV camcorder and/or a digital camera (I'd borrow my dad's JVC, otherwise I'll buy a new camera). My friends definitely will have their cameras, and I don't want to have to bring one along if we're going to be taking 3-4 of the same pictures all the time.

A condescending attitude, enough deodorant for all of France, and learn how to ask "Where is the McDonald's, you savage?" in all major languages.

Eurail-ing mostly, I found someone selling a 1st class 15-day flexi-pass for $500 (normal is $900). W00t.

you will need a tranformer if you are taking anything that needs to be plugged in.

How much are those anyway? Most of the stuff I was planning on bringing (charger, laptop) do both modes..but my razor charger doesn't work over there, I was considering just using a good ol' fashioned razor.

In that case I'd use an old-fashioned razor..the only reason I needed my adaptor (they're $20-ish, BTW) was to charge my camera batteries.

Don't bother packing underwear, it's EUROPE!😛 j/k
 
A lock for your backpack. If you are taking long railtrips. I'd definitely take turns sleeping and a nice pillow for the train is always good. 🙂

Which countries will you be travelling through? I loved Germany's rail system. Hated Italy's trains though.
 
While a video camera is neat...IMO it is too much of a hastle. However...if each of you used it a bit, it wouldn't be a bad idea.
 
The inter-rail is a ingenious way to meet people, you meet loads of people on the trains themselves, adventuring people, i know, well actually several, couples that met on interrail, and became Girlfriend/boyfriend(i'm not sure how to say this in english, but wth, you get it... Recomendations?).

hmm
Condoms?
