Whatever you do - do not refer to them as fanny packs in UK - it's the complete opposite part of the anatomy. I remember when I first moved her and my mother-in-law (Hyacinth Bouquet!!) came over. My very southern neighbour started to talk about sitting on her fanny all day. My m-i-l nearly fainted and my husband and I couldn't breathe for laughing.

There are plenty of pervs out there that would love to stuff a pack full of fannies. Truck drivers get hemoroids from sitting on their fannies? I would also like to warn Carolinians about going out dancing and asking British girls if they know how to shag. And, if someone offers you a ***, they are not pimping a homosexual, they are offering a cigarette. Finally ladies, if a bloke tells you he will "knock you up" in the morning, that doesn't mean that he will inpregnate you. It means that he will knock on your door or ring your doorbell in the morning. Sorry if that is disappointing.
Americans in Europe= overweight, Ohio State sweater, fannie pack (utility pack), loud, sweat pants so that plenty of chips can be eaten, suck ups, braggers (often insulting). Damn, sounds like some of the yankees in my neighborhood. LOL!

Just be careful if you book european flights with a 'no frills' airline. The baggage allowances can be almost nonexistant, so if you're planning on bringing a couple of mid-sized suitcases with you it could be costly!
They are not necessarily cheaper by the time you've added on all the extras.
I very much love my country, but do enjoy a good game of 'spot the American' when abroad.
That is what I meant too.
