Anticipation

Three days and counting until I leave. Vaccinations gotten, first aid kit purchased, in fact, I've got everything except insect replellent and pantyhose...I'll pick those up either today or tomorrow. I'll begin packing Friday. I'm excited!

It's really happening, I'm going to India!

I've booked the travel and should have my visa back by Feb 24, plenty of time before I leave Mar 1. I'm getting excited but there's plenty to do before I leave. I'll have a couple of days when I won't be working so hope to take in some sightseeing while I'm there.

India, here I come!

Great news, it's all coming together. I will complete my Visa package tomorrow, go get my photos and FedEx for next day 8 am delivery. The Visa will be back within 7 business days. I'll book travel tomorrow and leave sometime during the last week of February. Woohoo!

The blog look

Ok, I really have to figure out what I'm doing wrong that I can't get the code right when I try to import a new blog look or background....dang it, it just can't be that hard, can it? Going to have to find someone to show me what I'm doing wrong. I want this one to look more like a travel blog instead of the way it does...I can't stand the way it looks...and to think, I'm headed to India soon so I need thing updated ASAP!

Didn't get the Visa applied for today so will need to finish that up tomorrow. I'm going to apply for the 10 year one so I don't have to go through this again for a while...geez, what a hassle!

Traveler's notes - India

Well, the title of this one is a misnomer since I'm not currently traveling, but hey, I needed a first post, right? The traveling brick (more on that later) and I are headed to India at the end of the month for 2 weeks. This will be my first overseas adventure and I'm really looking forward to it. This blog will allow me to post notes on my travels as I venture to parts unknown...for me at least, and provide a sort of travel log of my experience. Pictures will be provided along the way and maybe I'll improve my photography skills while I'm at it. I'll be in several different cities in India and hope to create quite a scrapbook of the adventure.

Ok, I promised more on the traveling brick (TB). TB came from humble beginnings in an old wood framed house in rural Alabama...well, maybe not quite so rural but definitely not a city brick by any means. Among the places TB has been to date are Alabama, Florida, Tennessee and Georgia, but TB will begin International travel with me soon.

The picture is of TB, me, Patti and one of it's brother bricks when we visited Patti in Mobile, AL several years ago. TB has been itching with the travel bug for a while and can't wait to scratch that itch!

I'm listing the cities I know I will visit below and add more info as I travel in country.

~Hyderabad
~Mumbai or more commonly known as Bombay
~New Dehli
~Gurgaon
