Last Day in London

I had much to do today to get ready for my departure, and I made it.  I arrived at Heathrow exactly two hours before my 5:35 pm take-off on British Air.  The eight hour flight means that I will wake up the next morning in India.  That's me before descending into the Tube station at Swiss Cottage.  What's in the pack, you ask?  Here's the list.

Packing as a Minimalist Activity:  All you need for any length of trip is a backpack or small bag (though traveling in winter does complicate matters a bit).  I took inventory as I repacked this morning and this is what I am carrying with me.  The list excludes what I am wearing.

1 pair long pants

2 shorts: regular and gym

1 swimming trunks

2 T-shirts

5 pairs of underwear

7 pairs of socks

1 long sleeve shirt

2 short sleeve shirts

1 ball cap

1 umbrella

1 microfiber towel

2 locks

2 books

1 kindle

1 camera

1 netbook

Various electrical converters

Various toiletries

Assorted documents

I often take old cloths with me and cast them off as I wear them.  This is what I shed in London:

1 pullover (donated to the British Heart Association!)

1 pair of pants

1 long-sleeve shirt

1 pair of socks
