Packing list for 10 week Study Abroad in London

<p>Glad to hear you found a place. I hope she has a wonderful semester.</p>

<p>Below are some great ideas on how to spend your vacation. If you are tired of doing the same old thing or visiting the same old place, then let us brainstorm some ideas with you to ensure your trip is wonderful.</p>

<p>Maybe you have some extra money this time and want to try something different? Let’s take a journey and discover some great theme vacations…</p>

<p>Some people have a passion they want to pursue, like cooking or mountain biking and they would like to learn more about it or share their passion with others. By creating a theme vacation that immerses the vacationer in a topic, place or activity, the tour companies and hospitality industries have wisely tapped a previously unexplored vein of income.</p>

<p>Let’s assume that your trip is planned with travel experts and tour guides. Whether your passion is Egyptology, music, golf, or architecture, or whether you are one of those people who just wants to sit on the best beaches and perhaps do a little snorkeling, a “theme” vacation will give you plenty of exposure to the things you love the most.</p>

<p>You may get a really cheap deal on a Nile trip with an inexperienced tour company. Weigh the value and safety of the trip. Choose a company that has negotiated the best access to historical sites and one that will provide adequate security and lodging. Go with a company that is a bit more expensive, so that your trip isn’t a nightmare.</p>

<p>A good theme vacation can cost you anywhere from $1,500 to $3,500 (and sometimes, even as much as $5,500 for exotic or hard-to-reach destinations or dangerous locales that require assistance and security or trained guides), depending on the length of stay and the distance you must travel to get there and participate in the activities. So be prepared to spend some money!</p>

<p>Look at the itinerary and decide if you are up to the challenge. If you are going to mountain bike in China, and you have only just started your mountain biking exercise and conditioning, you may not yet be ready for such an intense journey. If you fall behind or have problems, you may lose your dream trip and your money.</p>

<p>If your daughter’s going on the Tube, tell her to be EXTREMELY wary of pickpockets, especially when it’s crowded. They are very common in London.</p>

<p>Also, football and beer are big things in Britain. When a big football match is going on, tell her to stay away from pubs and hooligans.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
