Packing for Paris... and Oxford

I'll be on the road this summer for two months: one month in Paris, where I'll be in the archives most days, and one month in Oxford where I'll be teaching.

Paris... June

Oxford... July

What will I pack?

• Based on my trip in 2010, June in Paris will be HOOOOOOOT.
• Based on 6 trips to Oxford, July in Oxford and England will be hot/cool/rainy/sunny.
• I'll be giving a paper at an international conference at University of Exeter.
• I'll be staying on the fifth floor (walk-up) in Paris and the first floor in Oxford.
• I'll be buying books, shoes, skin care products, accessories, and clothes in both places.
• I'll take one mid-size suitcase, one backpack, and the cat to NY.
• I'll take one mid-size suitcase, one backpack, and one pliage from NY to Paris.
• I'll probably be taking two suitcases, one backpack, and the cat from NY to Big D.

Paris requires clothes for the daily trip to the archives, or to museums, sight-seeing, and cafe-sitting.
Oxford requires clothes for teaching, day trips, high table/guests, and the conference in Exeter.
My neutral is always black.
I never wear shorts.

I take one dress for High Table/conference meetings, and mix it up with accessories and shoes.

The gym I join in Oxford requires a bathing suit for the steam room and whirlpool (thank goodness!).
Besides clothes, what do I need?

• laptop plus hub/thumb drives/mouse/cords
• camera plus USB cords
• Nook plus USB cords
• iPod plus cords
• cellphone plus cords (buy a UK one there)
• books for class
• ethernet cord, international plugs
• Longchamps Pliage backpack, briefcase, and tote
• presentation folder for conference paper I am presenting in July
