Twentythree Skidoo

So, after almost six months of planning, moving, finals and paperwork we are finally heading out to India. Of course the "heading out to" part is a bit of an ordeal itself; once we get to San Francisco and onto the plane it's 13.5 hours to Taipei, a three hour layover, then another 6.5 hours to Delhi. To further confuse matters, as we fly for 20 hours we go back in time 12 hours until we cross the international date line and jump forward 24 hours. Anyway you calculate it, we're in for a long trip.

After all the stress and planning, I for one am looking forward to being herded around for a while. Not having to make any decisions or take any responsibility for myself sounds like a nice break so I'm hoping they keep us on a short leash for our orientation week.

I am supremely excited to start this new adventure. By the time I get back to The States I'll have lived in Delhi for as long as I have lived in Santa Cruz, Roxy and I will have been together for over two years and I will be able haggle in Hindi.

That's all my random thoughts on it for now. I'll probably compose our next blog on the plane and post it when we land so you'll have a first hand look into how boring it is to sit in a aluminum tube for 20.

Until next we meet,
Always know where your towel is.
