What to Consider As We Prepare

I'm asking advice from the people who have previously been with us in the UK:

1. What should I know ahead of time?
2. What should I bring?
3. What should I leave behind?
4. What should I absolutely do or see no matter what?
5. What should I miss?
6. What attitude should I take with me (as an American, student, traveler, etc)?
7. What can I expect from the experience?

I'll post the questions to the google and yahoo groups from earlier and hope for responses, which I'll pass on to you.
