I will be traveling around Western Europe for a month right before I move to Madrid for four months for school. I was thinking of flying into london cuz its cheap and then shipping my laptop and all my clothes to Madrid and continuing on with my backpack, but thats about 200 pounds of stuff to ship. I dont know how much it would cost. Would it just be better to fly directly into madrid and then continue on to northern western europe? If I were shipping I plan on finding some european UPS or FEDEX.

THANKS
