And cold and wet feet are a sure recipe for illness.<br />Also, large shawls are nice, because they can work both as a light layer to throw over your shoulders when the temperature drops a bit (like in the evenings) and a muffler to protect your throat if the temperature really happens to drop a <i>lot</i>.<br />At least that's my European experience. I can't speak for the USA, because during my three weeks there, there was absolutely no rain in Annapolis, and only a bit in the other places I visited.<br /><br />It's always so difficult to pack for travelling when you don't know what the weather will be! And I've also had my experience with a trip that's free but with next to no free time, interpreting in my case... good luck.Hana - Marmotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532515160608083460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-12346177331441307932014-05-25T07:00:23.720-07:002014-05-25T07:00:23.720-07:00Wow!

Bring a light sweater or hoodie for early morning/evening hours and you should be fine. Thunderstorms are awesome to watch. Enjoy your time on the east coast and I'll keep an eye out for you and your group.CTpathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06578761836954740915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-89348636655196193012014-05-24T09:14:20.043-07:002014-05-24T09:14:20.043-07:00I think allowing a bit more RTW under these circum...I think allowing a bit more RTW under these circumstances is completely understandable... Hope you have a great time!! I'm sure you'll sleep for several days upon return... I once had to take 40 of my 8th grade band kids to Disneyland for a three day weekend, and it was surprisingly okay, but oh goodness. I was so exhausted that I can't even really remember what it was like now!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15979808408348106338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-79676255674801582692014-05-24T08:10:31.043-07:002014-05-24T08:10:31.043-07:00I'm DC burbs, we're currently having a gor...I'm DC burbs, we're currently having a gorgeous spring and dressing is easy but at any moment it could be hideously hot and sticky. Philadelphia and NY are always a few degrees cooler but if a heatwave strikes all could be oppressive even this time of year. Any easy to pack down raincoat would be useful in a mad dash for shelter. Otherwise museums and street vendors are happy to sell ponchos and flimsy umbrellas. Enjoy your trip if possible, it does sound challenging though.Jne4slhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02709409881841287562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-62174733089689733462014-05-24T07:42:58.913-07:002014-05-24T07:42:58.913-07:00Ooh sounds like you have multiple challenges but I...Ooh sounds like you have multiple challenges but I'm sure you can overcome!EmSewCrazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04896183158092761878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-77631244765034674632014-05-24T05:03:42.385-07:002014-05-24T05:03:42.385-07:00Also, enjoy!

I've been to all 3 cities on multiple occasions, since DC and Philly in particular are easy day trips from Delaware, and they're a lot of fun.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09913795373618902575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-59259863865244469782014-05-24T05:00:53.698-07:002014-05-24T05:00:53.698-07:00I love close enough to Philadelphia (next state do...I love close enough to Philadelphia (next state down) that our weather is generally similar, give or take a few degrees. So here's my advice:A raincoat, if you have one, and shoes that aren't sandals are helpful. The thunderstorms around here can hit deluge proportions quickly, and rushing for shelter when your feet are shifting around on slippery sandals is not fun! Plus I wouldn't want you to fall. <br /><br />Also, lightweight layers might help. You probably don't have humidity like we do either, so you'll want clothes that can keep you fairly cool, but also something to throw on for air conditioning or thunderstorm-induced temperature drops.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09913795373618902575noreply@blogger.com
