Packing for London
I leave this Sunday, two weeks in London and Stratford-upon-Avon, my
first trip out of the country. Those of my acquaintance who have travelled are shaking their heads over my packing list, wincing at my two checked bags (one's really quite small, just a tote bag), clucking their tongues at my three pairs of shoes. But most especially, they say, my long, black trench coat must stay behind, it's far too bulky and heavy. Well, it is bulky, and heavy, that's rather the point. But not bring my London Fog to London? That hardly seems right or proper. However, from a practical standpoint, my only real counter-argument is that I might need it; sure, it's nice enough now, but arctic cold and bitter rain might roll in at any time, and then my light leather jacket would be pitifully inadequate. Have I got a leg to stand on? Or will I end up much happier if I depart sans coat? |
