When I woke up this morning I looked over at my packed suite case and thought to myself, wow, I am really leaving for India today. I think that this is the first time that it has truly set in. Nate, Anna, Josh and I will be leaving on an American Airlines flight at 6:05 pm tonight and flying to London, then New Delhi. We are to arrive in New Delhi at 11:00 pm... in the future. (9.5 hr time difference and roughly 19.5 hr travel time)
It is hard to predict what my trip will be like once I am there, but I have a pretty good idea of what is in store for me for the next couple days. Sleeplessness, discomfort, and naive excitement. With a total air time of about 16 hrs I know that this is going to be a rough ride. I hope to sleep as much as possible on the airplane, but it is wishful thinking to believe that the sleep will be anything other than a cramped, restless nap. Once in New Delhi we will meet Mr. Raymond Peter with the HHE and he will take us to Hotel Grand Godwin where will we either crash with exhaustion, or be so wide awake with time confusion and excitement that we might be unable to sleep. Either way, at 7:30 am the next morning we will begin another long journey to Manali. Another 7 hours of travel switching back and forth between rail and buses.
My next posting will hopefully be in New Delhi, or maybe Manali. Here we go...
