Pre-Travel Boredom

I haven't posted much because not much is happening. Now that the spring semester is over, I'm trying to get squared away for the trip.
The most interesting thing I've done is to stock up on new guide books.
I'm a big fan of the Michelin Green Guides for good all-round sight-seeing and trip planning, so I got the new Great Britain Guide along with the Red Guide, three new road atlases, and the Lonely Planet: Great Britain. With all that, I think I'm moderately well prepared for the trip. At least as far as reading and planning go.
Next step: figure out how to pack lighter.
