Two Suitcases and One Long Plane Ride

I got to take two suitcases with my to the UK. Each could weigh up to 50 lbs. If you had to, could you fit your entire life for a year into 2 suitcases? A lot of you were wondering how I did it, what would get left behind, and whether or not I could even weed my things down that much. Well here is what ended up in each suitcase:
- Case # 1

• Dresses
• Tights
• Socks
• Underwear 
• Tank Tops
• 3 books and one notebook on game theory
• An umbrella
• Sweaters 
• Grey flats and black boots
• Photo album
• Pictures my best friend drew 
• Wrist brace
• Going away present from my sister

- Case #2

• PJ's
• Sweat shirts
• Gym shoes and black flats
• Shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc
• Snacks from my mother
• Going away cards from my friends and family
• My seal hand towel and one from my aunt Jan
• Ellie the Elephant
• A Blanket
• A dvd drive
• Power cords and adapter
• Rain Jacket

Once packed it was time to fly to Amsterdam and then onto Norwich. I was surprised the flight was only 6.5   hours. It was a very uncomfortable flight, but I did manage to sleep a little. In Amsterdam I actually went through security twice, then at the gate went to an "exit" and was then bussed out to the run way to get on a tiny little plane to Norwich.
