With a month before I leave, I am finally feeling like I am almost ready. I have had my shots of A,B, typhoid and malaria and even have meds for the 20 hour plane flight. Having trouble deciding what clothes to pack, I hear it is going to be hot there while back home it will be in the 40's and 50,s. Want to keep my style while being respectful of India's traditions. Looking forward to sharing with Ravi some foods from here such as peanut butter and home made black bottom cupcakes. I will also be taking along a glass bowl I made as a gift for his mother which I hope she will love. As my friends know coffee is very important to me and I will be bringing Starbucks along to start every day off with a taste of home. As you can see Pumpkin wants to come along as well , maybe it is to meet her bf charlie who lives in India or maybe though she won't admit it she is going to miss me :)
