Why I Want To Move To London....

you guys might just see me as being impulsive and have a wild hair that's getting to me but let me tell you why because its a question i have to answer a lot when i tell people my plan.

Reasons:
The History
the shopping
the buildings / arcitecture
the ghosts
transport system ( cant wait to ride the double decker buses and go on the tube.)
The Rain ( i love rain and the smell of rain)
the history ( did i all ready say that)
and look at how beautiful it is

Hostel or Hotel

now for the first couple days or week you are there or where ever you are you wont have an apartment (flat) until after you get there. so you need to decide if you want a hotel room or hostel? no don't think hostels are these creepy places where only people who do drugs and are to poor to get a real place go. hostels are great if you find a reputable one like my sister did. they are filled with people just moving there or perhaps backpackers on there way to a new location. at first i was totally against the idea but if your only staying in it for a couple days then why not save the money and just be in a room with some people for a couple days why you find your perfect place. you can meet interesting people , make friends , network. but if you really want privacy then shell out the money for a hotel room because to some people its worth it , i'm just trying to see what the best option is for me.

if your looking for the cheapest way go to a hostel if you want privacy and can afford it go with a hotel.

for hotels use websites like
www.booking.com
www.hotels.com
hotwire.com
priceline.com

for just some examples

i'm really not sure how to research hostels so i don't have many links for you guys there but when i find some ill add them in this post so stay tuned and check back to see if there's any updates on this post and if you have researched hostels please comment the sites you used down below

Traveling With A Pet

With pet travel it can get complicated you will need the following
a pet passport
a crate that is airline approved for your specific airline
a leash
a collar with name and info along with rabies tag

with the pet passport you can get the paper work at your vets office. but it depends on where your moving to. in some countries your dog may have to be quarantined for up to six months which sucks but just check the restrictions in the country your moving to and see what they need for pets.

most people think a pet passport is just a novelty item but it actually has use. when moving to a completely different country that is. but say you live in Washington and you want to move to California, then it would just be a waste of money to have a passport unless you have the current immunization records on hand anyway for your pet. but if your like me i'm moving from Washington to London so i will need a pet passport for my little dog. on the passport it will have your pets current vaccinations , immunizations , age , breed , owner all your pets information.

here are some links for more information on pet passports

hope you guys and your little pets are all doing great =D if you have any information about traveling with pets abroad please comment below =D
