India in 5 Weeks!

 


Well I am heading towards the last leg before leaving for my trip! It's ubelievable how many things you have to remember for leaving for five weeks! 

Been working hard on finalising the itinerary in regards to reconfirming all arrangements, printing out confirmations for hotels and flights etc.

I went for my vaccines this week and boy oh boy those guys aren't cheap!!! I got injections and a list of medications to take before and during my trip including high-altitude pills for Tibet.

We have been doing overnight test stays for my precious little Mousette which my cousin will be babysitting for me. So far so good, she sees that I come back for her so she should be ok while I am gone.

In the next month I will start to go through my clothles and decide what I will be bringing. It's a bit difficult since I do need clothing for a variety of temperatures. When visiting India it will be hot so light clothing is needed but in Tibet and especially EverestBase Camp it wll be cold at night so I have to take that into consideration.

It seems like only yesterday that I had 8 months before leaving and now I will be at the airport in a few weeks! Oh well c'est la vie!  

Dreaming of India


I will be finally living several bucket list events in only a couple of months! On October 1st I will head off for an extraordinary voyage that will take me to India, Tibet, Nepal and Bhutan! It's a trip I have wanted to do my entire life but because of my work and time restraints it was not possible until now. 

These are the only major countries in the world that I have not been to in my past 50 years of being in the travel industry. Each has many bucket list items I have dreamt of and I figure if I don't do it now I never will. 

I have made a website detailing my journey and you can see it at this link:

In the next three months I will work on getting in shape especially walking every day as my days will be filled with a lot of walking. This trip I am sure will be a magical one filled with exotics sights and spiritual uplifting and I can't wait!

Each day I will be describing my adventure here so make sure to bookmark the departure date of 01 October and check back!
