On the Road

Ready or not

Well the bag is packed, the champagne (sparkling wine) has flowed and I feel completely unprepared for what is to come. Not to say that its a bad feeling, on the contrary, I think I'm most worried about the fact that I'm not worried.

I packed my bag two weeks in advance before I went to India. Constantly checking, rechecking to make sure that I had absolutely everything that I could possibly need to avoid any foreseeable problems. I guess going by yourself for the first time out of the country is a pretty daunting endeavour. When I was over there I realised that I probably didnt have to carry half the stuff that I did - in fact the possessions made me fear even more for my safety. So for this trip, there has been none of that. I made a list last week of things I wanted to take, packed last night and decided that I will worry about the big stuff when it comes my way... so at this point - I'm happily unprepared for my big trip tomorrow - I guess we'll have to wait and see what there is to come - I cant wait!!
