Euro-Trip 2014

My Christmas present from my husband was a trip to Europe! We decided to go over spring break and are going to London and Paris.  We are going for 10 days and I could not be more excited.  I have been planning for weeks and created an itinerary planned and a packing list. ( The two things I am most concerned about :)) I did a ton of research, read a lot on trip advisor and bought 3 travel books.  I also couldn't find very much out there about what to pack!

Here is our itinerary and what I decided to pack.  I will keep you posted on how the packing and itinerary turns out!
