What do you Pack for a month long stay?

I am a female traveling to London for a two month stay. What should I pack?

• I will be there from February to April. I want to look fashionable and not like a tourist! Also, I can't bring much so I need some good packing suggestions. I will also be traveling Europe in April. Any advice?

• Answer:

  Most definitely a raincoat, umbrella, and shoes with good tread, the stone gets a little slipery. Pack dark clothes. That's what most of them wear and no tourist wants to stand out. Pack your own medicine, it's hard to find american comodities for a headache. If you straighten your hair or curl it you need to buy an adapter for the electrical sockets but watch out, your straightener might get hotter than normal. My friend burnt her hair. And invest in a good one not the cheap ones. Your less likely to damage or short circuit your things. Pack clothes for any kind of weather especially cool weather. I went in the beginning of June and it was cool a few days and warm another, but it mostly rains. Pack face cleanser. If you have sensitive skin then it's going to freak out with the soft water. It doesn't have all the harsh chemicals our water does so it can cause your face to break out and razor bumps to show up. Pack a washcloth because if you stay in a hotel you won't find them there. And by the way it's really hard to wash your conditioner and soap off with the soft water. Pack extra money. Keep your passport on your body. You can purchase a passport holder and wear it round your neck and under your arm but beneath your clothing. Hold on to your purse. And bring a camera of course, but consider the battery if you have a digital regarchagable. Sometimes its best to have one that run's on double A. And that is about all I can think of. I wish you a fantastic trip.
