Hello pretties,
It’s travel day. I’ve had so much fun with this feature on the blog. Travel opens your mind and gives you an appreciation for other cultures, it’s all good. I’m a picture taking fool and I wasn’t going to use the pic above but it’s a good depiction of life in London. A real Londoner going about his day with a backdrop of the Tower Bridge. Alright, Let’s Go, here are 10 bits about travel and about London!
1 – You will need an umbrella, it will rain. Now it’s not a torrential downpour, but you’ll need a brolly
2 – Even in a summer month, the days can be windy and of course rainy, get a lightweight jumper (a jacket) or a cute wrap
3 – Your best friend is the Oyster Card. It’s the golden ticket to all that is London
4 – There are a ton of hotels in London, but do book a spot close to a tube station. You’ll be glad you did
5 – Get some currency before you leave – you’ll have a few pounds and pence to tip your driver
6 – Get up and out upon arrival, it’ll help with jet lag and you’ll get the lay of the land
7 – London is a very walkable town, snag a comfy pair of walking shoes
8 – Eat local. Get out and discover good eats in the neighborhood
9 – Don’t worry about the price of souvenirs, if you like it, buy it. It will be cheaper or not cheaper at the next souvenir stand
10 – Organized tours are the bomb! You’ll see all the major attractions and get great commentary from a London insider
An update, the packing cubes worked so well, even had room for souvenirs.
I’d love to hear about your travels, where’s everybody been?? Do share?

Robin,
Great tips. I have never been to London actually, mostly because of the rain..lol. But, my mom is visiting this week, and I have sent her this post before she leaves tonight. This came in handy!
