two important things.

doesn't it always seem that when you plan to leave for a long trip everything happens at once. needless to say, it's all under control but of course the last two weeks leading up to my departure, life is hectic and there seems to never be enough time in the day to get things done, which is definitely a feeling i dislike.

two things i do have in check is my indian visa to get me in the country and my latest version of lonely planet india (thanks to my friend at raincoast books here in vancouver for getting it to me). i'm still feeling a bit in denial that i am leaving in two weeks! leaving my husband behind for a whole month and embarking on some kinda crazy adventure! whoa!


the packing will hopefully happen soon but i am usually one to leave it till last minute. let's hope i plan a little better this time around.not to mention i am what you call an "extreme over packer" always questioning should i bring this or not, then end up stuffing it in my suitcase and never using it. so my mindset is simplicity.....let's see how that goes.


i'm just happy that i have my passport + visa to get me in the country & my guidebook as a useful resource. two important things.
