Unless you are staying in a luxury hotel, always bring all your own toiletries. I've been to London and stayed in budget hotels many many times, and noticed that soap is all you get and sometimes you just get a sachet so I always bring even my own soap

And if you do forget an adapter, at least for USB charging devices- you can use a TV port to charge (slower, harder to reach bc it's on the back, but it works as long TV is on). If you see a supermarket or a 'PoundLand' store you can get an adapter for a pound (gift shops were asking 7-10 ponds for the simple adapter, and 27 pounds for the 'worldwide' adapter 😶).

Just got back. Make sure your voltage adapter has USB ports. I bring my own soap and I also bring washcloths which their hotels never have. Layers are the best - leggings plus a big top but also pack a fleece or a warm sweater. This last time I brought everything black.

Geoffrey W Ashley it makes little difference on the phone, it’s a bankcard just like any other bankcard. The app advantage is you can do your banking through the app but equally can do it with any Internet connection. The wonderful thing about them is if you are going to Europe you can spend them in euros, England you can spend it in pounds, and also there is an account for dollars. I wouldn’t have it as the only option but I find it’s the only one I ever use as it has such exquisite exchange rates up to the minute. Happy travels!

It's a South London suburb with a teaching hospital, the HQ of the Salvation Army, a nice park and some pretty architecture. If you're based there, for your stay, it has a well-connected overground rail station, but save money and take the 185 Bus to Victoria. For £1:50, the 185 bus will take you to central Westminster, 5 minutes from Buckingham Palace; sit on the top deck and there's plenty to see, en-route.

You can buy plug adapters at the airport or at stores in UK like WH Smith. If you are American buy a British sim card on pay as you go basis here in UK - much cheaper than American phones! For now (Brexit may mess this up) European visitors have same price as at home EU roaming rights on their phones.

Hello Jess, I need to know more about the wifi device and how to get one. The link has information on sim cards, but not the wifi device, which, on the video, appears to be a plastic card. Please excuse my ignorance on this stuff. I am a low-tech person, born in the BC (before computers) era. But I do know my phone is an old flip-phone and not the unlocked variety. Love your videos!

Hi Tina, I talk about the wifi device in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nNyplduX3d6ampc.html but it won't work with your phone if it doesn't get data/wifi on it (which usually those old phones don't.)

Sorry Laura I had forgotten to put the link to one you can order before you arrive, it's here: www.giffgaff.com/orders/affiliate/jessdante (that's an affiliate link) or you can pick one up at the airport (more expensive), supermarket, convenience store, etc.

in regards to sim cards. Some carriers (like TMobile have an international plan included with the cell plan already). so a sim card is not needed.

Also, right around when this video was made flagship phones (iPhone XR, Pixel 2, and Galaxy S20, among others) started supporting eSIM cards. By now unless you’re rocking a budget model it probably supports the technology. (Like the Galaxy A54 does and I’d call that a midrange model.) eSIM cards are kind of like gift cards for cell service: you pay for a code (usually a QR these days) that you enter into a certain screen in your phone’s Settings menu, and boom, you have access to a second network. Since eSIMs are digital products they can be cheaper (even the more deluxe packages with voice, text, and unlimited data are about US$5 a day) and you can get them delivered instantly. Exact compatibility can vary, so of course read up on your options.
