Prepare for Take-off

As my departure to London quickly approaches (3 days!!), all the last minute details start to fall into place and you've got to make sure you don't leave anything behind. Especially because I'm gone for 6 weeks and it's expensive to ship.

I started creating a checklist using a table in a word Document.

I've got my guidebooks and have made notes and dog-eared galore.



I've got my fabulous little adapter from Target for about $7.



My husband and I figured out the whole Skype-webcam thing to keep in touch for less.

I've got my 100GBP in Cash (which cost $165).




I've made copies of my Driver's license, passport, student ID, and credit cards and given them to someone I trust.

I haven't started packing yet, but I've been grouping things here and there so I can throw it all in.

I'm excited. And scared. I'd say its 50/50 right now. I'm just got a great traveler. Once I get there and I've overcome jet lag, I'm sure I'll love it! Not to say that I won't get homesick every now and then, but thankfully I've got some lovely classmates I know I can lean on from time to time and they can do the like with me as well.

See you across the pond!

Cheerio!
