Hi there this is Tyler. I have just started packing and i am ready to fly to the United Kingdom. As i pack i will be making one pile to package and ship and one to put in a backpack to carry. I am doing this because its easier to ship my skis then to carry them. (I know this from experiance). I will be shipping my skis, ski boots, coat, ski pants, and helmet to Austria so it will be waiting at my hotel. I am bringing a camera, a toothbrush, toothpaste, 3 days cloths so i can do laundry at each hotel (of course), money, a backpack, and some layers. I will be wearing my rain gear and some light weight hiking boots. Over the next couple of weeks i will be telling you about my travels across Europe. First i travel to to the U.K., then to Denmark, Austria, Bulgaria and finaly Portugal. I will eat many daring things and travel to interesting places. Cant wait to get started.
