Packing oh, packing, and overpacking, and unpacking, and repacking. This is what my days are full of until my departure in just 1 1/2 days!
Luckily my program through Arcadia University provides students with an amazing description of what to pack for Great Britain. One thing students have come back and said is you should pack what you think you will need and then take half out. This half rule is a good one to keep in mind. So after getting this "pack light" advice from about 6 or 7 different sources, I went to work trying to unpack half of my clothes. I would say I have done a fairly good job. Those that know me would be impressed.
One other good piece of advice I got from the site said that Americans tend to stick out on the streets of London because they wear lots of brightly colored clothing. I happen to wear quite a bit of brightly colored clothing which I had packed. This made it easier to take those pieces out of my suitcase further diminishing the amount I packed.
I am still probably a bit overpacked, but we'll see once I get there if those pieces of advice were good ones!
Have a wonderfully marvelous day ~Laura
You'll have to post a picture of the stuff you brought sometime. I'd love to see some of the outfits you're throwing together while you're over there!
