I leave for India tomorrow and I am so excited I'm not sure if I will be able to sleep!! I have always wanted to go to India. The vast landscape and all of the spirituality really make it appealing to me. The steps of the ghats on the Ganes River has been a place I have wanted to visit for many years! I think I have everything packed but just to be sure I will go through my packing list one more time! When I am in India I plan on doing lots of yoga, seeing many sights such as temples and the Taj Mahal and eating lots of curry! Because I will be traveling with a backpack I need to keep my packing to a minimum and learn where I can do laundry!
According to Weather.com, Delhi, India where I am flying in is about 60 degrees Fahrenheit. That sounds lovely compared to this cold New England weather! Agra and Jaipur have very similar weather and in fact it may get a bit warmer throughout my stay. I need to remember that it will get cold at night though! I will be doing lots of walking on roads and sidewalks so I will need good shoes! Because of the Indian Culture I will need to make sure that my arms are covered and that I wear modest clothes. (that means no tank tops or short skirts!) I'll need a good book to read this is going to be one long flight! It will be about 17 hours in the air from Boston!
