First Time Europe Traveller!!!
hello fellow community travelers!
I am going on my very first European Excursion in the late Spring/Early Summer portion on 2013 and must i say am looking very forward to it!
i am 23 and am going with a couple friends (yay friends!) and i am curious what i would need to pack from late May-late June. i am trying to stick to the packing list, but as far as clothing goes, should i expect warm weather?
i am travelling to Athens, working my way to Italy then germany, The Netherlands, France, England and finally Ireland where i will sadly (and regretably) leave my (what i hope to be) new home.
if anyone has any suggestions on what kind of packing i should be doing it would help me out tremendously!!! i obviously know the more north i go, the rainier the weather tends to be.
thank you fellow travellers for all your (soon to be) help!!!
Ashley
PS
i do apologize for any unfortunate misspellings :(

You don't need a special wardrobe. Bring the kinds of things that you would be comfortable wearing at home. I often travel in May/June and usually bring a lightweight wool sweater and a raincoat which can be layered if it is cold.
I always bring jeans when I travel. I find them to be very practical because they don't show dirt easily. It is true that they don't dry overnight; however, I also don't need to wash them every day and I don't need to have an entire wardrobe of clothes that dry overnight. I just make sure that I either wash them at the laundromat or when I am staying in a location for 2 or more days.
I too am a big fan of black yoga pants, get plain ones, and they can pass as a dress pant if needed, but with a tank top can look young and sporty, they are lightweight , take little room in luggage, wash easy in bathroom sink and dry pretty quick, don't wrinkle and are comfy!!
I also always pack a skirt and sundress,I find them comfy for hot weather, and by June it can be pretty warm in some places, but you can also through a sweater on with them for less then hot weather. I usually bring a simple black cardigan.
Always a rain /wind jacket , always!
Two pairs of good walking type shoes( usually one is a shoe and one a runner) , one pair good comfy sandal that can be casual or dress up abit( well not fancy, but goes with skirts or sundresss) I wear and love Naots ,, but everyones feet are different so you totally have to find your own best type .
Ashley, look at weatherbase.com for a general idea of temperatures where you'll be going. Take it as "general" not absolute.
