Prior Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance.
Aka the six P's. A mantra used by the Australian Special Forces when fighting alongside their lovely American colleagues.
Piss poor means bad.
So we are basically talking here about what to pack for Las Fallas.
Firstly, and most importantly, you should book a seat. Whether as an individual (lone wolf) or in a group (wolf pack).
If you are in another city look at flights, buses, trains to Barcelona or Valencia. It aint too difficult, and the lovely interns at Stoke Towers are here to help.
Next the packing. Please, and I mean puh-leeeeease, leave this until the last minute.
Pack a towel. Pack a towel for drying yourself after the pool, after the beach, after the shower. One towel is sufficient.
Pack some sunscreen. Valencia is typically more sunny, hot and dry than Barcelona, and compared to the rest of Europe - forget about it.
Six P's.
You are going to need clothing. You are going to need regular clothing in addition to some special ops gear. Take notes:
- something to swim in.
- something to get covered in wine in (for the festival, something that IF it gets stained YOU won't be devastated).
- something special for our club night.
- something to sleep in.
Shoes. Shoes that'll get you into the club and shoes that'll enable you to walk the streets and not get cut by glass. Stoke also recommends Flip Flops.
A camera. Surgically attach it to your hand - this is a once in a lifetime and it would be a shame to not be able to 'tag that shit'.
Your passport. We'll store this one, and whilst we are never crossing borders, you never know.
Six P's.
Some money. Stoke will be running it's infamous all-you-can-drink-5-euros-a-day bar, and providing a hot, steaming, hangover murdering breakfast each morning in addition to a delightful BBQ dinner one night. That leaves a couple of meals and a few drinks outside of the camp and souvenirs and maybe a cab ride if for some (sexy) reason you get separated from the herd....
Six P's.
Sunglasses, duh, because they are oh so hot and we are beautiful and young and glamorous and in the prime of our lives, goddamnit!
Toiletries. Wash, preen, scrub, brush, clip, moisturize, fragrance, flirt.
Prophylactics. Frangers. Dingers. Jonnies. Condoms. Because you never know.
Six P's.
A hat. A nice hat. Because, as above, it is expected to be warm and sunny. And, six P's, we don't want any premature aging.
(A pillow - the only thing we don't supply to aid your cutting of the Z's - that is some inside information shit).
And that is all I can think of. This list is by no means exhaustive, there will be more and I'll update you as they come to me.
So remember the six P's, remember to email info@stoketravel.com with any questions about anything, remember to check http://stoketravel.com/valencia.htm for trip details and remember to come.
It. Is. Going. To. Be. Incredible.
