London town.

Hoo boy we made it!!!

It only took 29 hours of being awake (and not showering) to do it.

So far we've explored our tiny suburb of Tottenham (it's Carribean and everyone comes out at night... and EVERYWHERE sells human hair), bought a TON of cheap fruit (£1 for a pomegranite) and fresh bread, and seen a few sights.

My favorite thing so far was an exhibit at the British museum called Cradle to Grave.

Leaving!

I'm not in an astronaut outfit but I am leaving (and I know exactly when I'll be back).

But someone sang this last night and got it stuck in my head.

Away with us!

Packing list.

I think everyone who knows me knows this tiny, terrible fact about me: I am obsessed with lists. Even my post it notes are lines for ease of list making.

I make them about everything (really though). Especially packing lists (which I edit a million times before not bothering to actually use them).

Anyway, I have accumulated my wardrobe for the trip.

I debated taking a picture of the lovely sweaters and dress but I figure three weeks in the same outfit will be plenty of pictures.

Also I got a new bag. My mom has the brown one and decided we should have matching bags (I will never argue against matching). It's a lot bigger than the one I was planning on taking but that means I can take my Arsenal blanket (I think I might accidentally be Pigpen, somehow that blanket goes everywhere with me!). And I'll have room for my royal wedding mug and a universitat tee. Perfection.

You sound like your from London!

London flat. The bed is a loft (I'm in love).

Home sweet Wien.

The delightful house we found in Vienna.

My mouth is drooling for a kebob!

Putting together a Wardrobe.

Isn't this jcrew sweater the perfect accessory? I love it. Good for summer and winter... the trick with traveling in the winter months is that you need to stay warm when outside, but you need to wear a manageable amount of layers so that inside you don't turn into a luggage hauling museum goer.

I've been paring down my list and at this point it looks like the only things traveling with me are:

- black jeans

- a jacket

- 2 or 3 shirts

- maybe a dress and tights...

- my giant hat from Christmas

Plenty of room in my bag for shopping and presents!

And really, at the end of three weeks, I'm sure I'll be annoyed I brought that extra shirt.

Adorable.

This has nothing to do with travel and everything to do with adorable.

another piece.

I got a surprise package from my mum over spring break: the last two hunger games books, and this clothes line for our trip! Ignore my drab bathroom... the line works great!

As for the books, I admit I read them both in one day, but they were impossible to put down!

It makes me consider an ipad for the trip though, having books and a computer there. I see the advantages to it, even though the lure of paper overcomes the desire for variety in me. There are so many cool electronic options for a trip.
