    France - Prepation

    Preparing myself for a trip to France.

    In just a week from tomorrow I’m shippin’ myself off to France for a twelve day trip. Me and about thirty other kids from my school are going to spend a few days in Normandy, then have a homestay near Rennes, and spend the remainder of the trip monumenting Paris.

    But to this day I still have done next to nothing to get ready. I know what bags I’m going to bring, but I still haven’t even bought the clothes to fill them up. Right now I’m living out of just a drawer with two good pairs of pants and maybe three shirts, and I can’t get by with just that in France.

    So Here is a list of things I need to do to get myself going (and my first ever try at using markdown.

    • go out and buy some clothes
      • deux pantalons
      • a few shirts
      • socks and underwear!
    • some toiletries (miniature ones!)
      • contact solution
      • toothpaste
      • razor blades
      • deodorant
      • toothbrush heads
      • chapstick
    • deck of cards
    • plug adapter for my iPod

    And then on top of that here is my first draft packing list:

    • passport
    • money (check card)
    • watch
    • ipod
    • camera
    • fr eng dictionary
    • cards and games
    • toiletries
    • a few american dollars
    • currency calculator?
    • clothes
      • three pairs of pants
      • three long sleeved shirts
      • two short sleeved shirts
      • some socks and underwear
      • shoes (two pairs)?
      • jacket and hat
    • a bag to keep dirty clothes in
    • a photocopy of my passport and birth certificate

    And hopefully that should go into my bag light enough that I can bring a few things home. Oh, also I need to find some kind of gift that I can give to my host family.
