Pre-Departure Woes

In preparing for my great adventure came a great deal of preparation. One very important part of this preparation included packing, and as people who know me and the way I pack for school or vacation know that I like to pack A LOT. I was faced with a large problem to which the solution seemed impossible. I decided to used Super Saver bags shown below:

I was able to pack my comforter, 4 inch mattress pad, winter coat, t-shirts, jeans, sweaters and pillows. The amount of of air that I was able to suck out of these items was amazing, and now with 1 week to go before I leave all of my belongings are squished into these vacuum sealed bags ready to go.

I have managed to pack two large checked bags as well as a large carry-on and a backpack. I am of course worried about how I am going to get all of my bags from the airport to the train station and from the train to my school, but that is when I will rely on the kindness of strangers, or shamelessly asks friends who are already in London to help me.

Now that the packing is done I am getting really excited and ready to leave. I am planning on updating this blog as often as I can and keeping you all up to date on my studies and my travels. I'll also try to include some pictures when I can. I hope you all enjoy this blog and enjoy being part of my International Medical School Adventure!

Until next time...
