There and Back Again: A Journey of Learning- Post 2: Preparations Part 3

So today, July 5, 2017 marks the day that I leave for Oxford!  I have been double and triple checking everything and I am in the final preparations of leaving.  My Uber comes in 30 minutes to take me to the airport and I am still not completely packed!


No, my house does not normally look like this nor does my packing, but I am preparing for six weeks abroad in weather ranging from 40 degrees to 85 degrees rain and shine. I also need to prepare for everything from hiking to nice dinners, sitting in the classroom, and going about  town.   I have also been informed upon checking in for my flight, that I can only have one checked bag.     So this is the sorting process of placing all potential items in piles as I decide their necessity and thus fate. 

Here are the winning choices ready to be rolled up and placed in the suitcase.   Jane Austen, my beautiful dog, can be seen sleeping in the background.   It is the moment of truth, for better or worse, I am ready to depart!
