Travel Tuesday: Getting to England (and Some Safety Tips)


I missed my Travel Tuesday post last week because I was hard at work getting this order finished up and in the mail for a wedding later this month.  The bride has promised to submit her pictures to the blog afterwards and I can't wait to see!  The order is on its way to her (already in Washington, should be delivered soon), so it's back to Travel Tuesday for me.

After getting packed (for better or worse), it was time to go!  Arriving in London was magical for me and it's still one of my favorite cities.  The way everything just seemed so similar yet, at the same time, totally and completely different from the States was incredible.  Even the air was different (I'm assuming a combination of exhaust and no Florida humidity).  

We stayed in London a few nights before we would head on to our final destination, Harlaxton College.  While in London, we stayed at the Corus Hotel.  It's a nice hotel with a great location right on Hyde Park and I'd recommend it.  Our room was fairly small with two twin beds.  I still remember laying in bed that first night with the windows open (unlike home, nice weather and no A/C), listening to the sounds of the street below.  I was hooked on traveling.

Travel Tuesday: Packing tips

As I mentioned in my last Travel Tuesday post, my study abroad trip to England was my second trip overseas and my first as an "adult"(as much as you can be as a college student).  It was a life-changing experience and I LOVED it.

Before I could fly there though, I had to pack, of course.
