[quote=Anonymous]Money: take an ATM card, a credit card with a chip (or 2), and (yes I know it is old-school) $500-$1000 in cash.  The ATM card will probably work, but you can always exchange USD if needed.  Take $20s or $100s and make sure they are new-ish and clean (no marks).

Slovenia uses the euro.  You could ask around to see if anyone you know has any so you can have a little cash when you arrive (in my office somebody always has some around...)

Laundry: I never count on using hotel cleaning/laundry services, but it's a nice backup plan.

For small and light items, you can hand-wash in the hotel sink (I just use soap or bath gel), rinse, roll in a towel and then step on the towel to squeeze out more water, and hang to dry.

Packing: For this length trip, you should be able to go carry-on with one rolling bag + one briefcase/tote bag.  Wear your heaviest shoes and clothes. Make sure your clothes for the airplane are very comfortable and that you have some layers--many people find airplanes to be cold.

If you do check a bag, make sure you carry on what you'll need for the first day in case the bag doesn't make it--at a bare minimum, toiletries and a change of underwear/socks/tshirt.

Arrival: find out in advance what the plan is for arrival? They will be meeting you? (Easier but you have to think about looking moderately presentable).  Van? Taxi? Hotel pickup?  Public transport?

My TMobile plan includes free texting in a bunch of countries.

Other: I always make a text document that has all of my travel information (flight dates/times/numbers, hotel information, other contacts, passport info) and mail it to myself so it's in my phone.[/quote]
