Today is the day! I cannot believe it, but I am all packed! Yesterday was fairly interesting, trying to consolidate and get everything together, see the before and after pictures! A BIG thanks to Ashley for letting me take over her apartment. Luckily, everything fit, of course I packed too much, but its hard to pack for so long! My main concern at this point is that the bags are too heavy, but fingers crossed. I am so glad I have Ashley as a travel companion to get me to the airport, it would be quite challenging to carry all bags at once...we will see what happens on the return.
It is hard to believe how fast the last few weeks flew by! I feel so lucky to have such amazing friends and family, and am happy I was able to spend a lot of great time with people in the last few weeks. Big thanks to everyone for all the great send-offs. I will miss everyone so much!After a long 15 hours in the air, Ashley and I will arrive in Mumbai tomorrow night. Someone from my organization will be meeting us and taking my big suitcases and dropping us at our hotel. We are in Mumbai until Sunday afternoon at which point we head to Chennai to meet our tour group! During the next two weeks we will be following the route below along the coast of Southern India -- will be action packed for sure.
Of course I have huge emotions right now and am feeling lots of nerves and lots of excitement. The next year will no doubt be full of challenges and learning and I look forward to seeing where this next step will take me!
I'll keep you posted.
