Europe has shortage of manpower so may be no bell boys. You may have to tug your own luggage at hotels. So travel light and carry a suit case with good rollers.
Ironed clothes occupy less space than used ones. So when starting out, do not fill up your suitcases to the brim. Also keep some space for that lovely souvenir on the trip.
Ladies should avoid carrying too many costly jewelery items lest you keep worrying about its safety instead of enjoying the tour. Also ladies tend to for overkill in terms of carrying number of clothes. Carry less clothes and more wash and wear types.
Avoid carrying hard cash. Instead carry traveler's cheques or foreign exchange travel card
Carrying movie cameras or video cameras is a bad idea. Initial euphoria and excitement of making videos gives way to a feeling of liability and drudgery. Notice how many times you watched those videos you so lovingly directed in the past on similar trips? Carrying a digital camera instead to take photos is a better bet. Photos get seen often by others, videos are mostly watched only by the director / maker himself.
Do not carry the entire laundry unit with you.Carry only a small iron and a compact detergent jar.
Avoid phone calls on cell phones to your relatives in the foreign country. Instead use SMS or text messages. (Maybe even missed calls :-)
