I may or may not have had Londonitis since November. Symptoms include serious picture and blog stalking, travel guide reading, British Literature reading, obsessive talking to past London travelers/residents, and research on all the best sites. In short, if I'm not talking then I'm thinking about London.
Because I have been obsessed and because I am detail orientated, I have been trying to find out as much information as possible to make my trip the best. I have done this by talking to many people who have been on previous BYU London Study Abroad programs as well as followed blogs of people who are currently there. I created what I call "The List" which includes their best suggestions of things to do as well as my own ideas of things that would be fun. Each time I do something on the list, I plan to cross it off. I'm going in with a plan so I don't get there and feel lost but I realize it's ok if I don't do everything on the list.
There's so many things I want to do and so many opportunities open to me! I've organized my ideas by what I expect of myself, the food I want to try (which is the best part of any trip if you ask me), shopping, museums and libraries, parks and gardens, performances, Paris, Scotland, additional trips, and (of course) what to do in London. If you'd like to see "The List" and read through all the wonderful things I want to do, simply click the link in the right sidebar of the page. I'll keep you updated each time an item is completed!
I'm looking forward to crossing off the many, many, MANY items on my list of fun!
