OK, so this nine month endeavor little resembles my last seven month backpacking adventure. For one, I will be studying which means no books for leisure (not that I do not immensely enjoy the one's assigned by my professors, now "tutors"). It will also mean less traveling during the terms and keeping the explorations more local. What this also means is that I have replaced my Opsrey backpack with My Louis Vuitton luggage. I have also expanded my four lonely outfits from my last trip to include: my vintage fur coat, 16 pairs of shoes, and a few more outfit changes.
Just to offer reassurance, while Osprey did get left behind, my adventuress backpacking spirit did not remain storaged in New York, like him. No, this trip will be a welcome hybrid of goose down comforter, pretty clothes and Prada purse luxury mixed with my roughing it, backpacking budget exploration.
Some of my "not so roughin it" London adventures have included:
* tea at the beautiful 5 Star Dorchester in Mayfair, a posh London neighborhood.
* dinner at one of the highest rated international restaurants. Food was great!
* exploring Harrod's the department wonder-they have multiple food and meat sections-In a Department Store where Gucci bags are sold in the next room. I found this strange

Hey Carol! While I'm happy to see you're a little more comfortable this time around (with your fur coat, luggage, and goose down comforter), I'm worried that we won't be able to afford hanging out with you in London. I sure hope they have a taco bell at least so yoriko, hiro, and i can afford to eat on our budget. :)
