My other favorite part of London

I know - we're not there yet but I figure it's still okay to have favorite parts of the London gig. So far, besides my soon-to-be cell phone free existence, I'm loving the pre-London trip shopping. London OBVIOUSLY requires all sorts of cool London-y things like new shoes, coats, clothes and a new purse as well as more practical items like fun little travel toothpaste and Tide sink-washing packets.

(These packets, by the way are the coolest thing ever. The mega-mart of doom (Wally-world) sells little packages that are designed to wash clothes right in the sink. How practical! How fun! How completely useless in the non-London "real" world!)

All of the shopping and prep and pre-packing planning (truly there are lists of lists of things to potentially pack) make this last week more exciting and add little bits of we're really going-ness to the whole escapade. Even though we're leaving in less than a week it doesn't always feel real. For me London is like that fantasy vacation you always play-plan but never actually take except, well - we're actually going. I guess I'll have to wait for the interminable airplane ride to really be on vacation.

I bet you're gonna love the plane ride over... at least for awhile. You'll be full of excitement and anticipation and you'll get to cross the ocean and then see a new continent appear outside your window! How awesome! I wish you guys lots of luck and good fun on your trip, and can't wait to hear all about it.
