I finally know where I’ll be staying for the first week in India. This is a huge relief, as it’s been up in the air as to where we’d be staying. Sure, it’s fun to do the 5-star hotel routine, but I’ve never really been comfortable in them. I’m looking forward to checking out a hotel that fits with what we’d be likely to stay in at home. Sounds weird, I know.

I still have a few things left to pickup and do before I can leave:

1. AA and AAA batteries (yeah, I need more)
2. Anti-Histamines
3. Tic Tacs
4. Get my final vaccinations (tomorrow).

Ok, that seems like a really short list. I must be forgetting something…I also need to charge my on my cell phones, camera, laptop and iPod.

WAHHHH! The time is just starting to fly by and I’m not sure where any of it has gone! Certainly I haven’t spent enough of it packing my bags.

Now that I’ve stopped focusing on work and returned to packing, I’ve had to call up my friends and let them know I’m ditching some of their gifts for Manila. Over 10 lbs of chocolate just isn’t making it into my bags when I have a 50 lb weight limit on them. I can’t afford the extra luggage fees, so some of the bars will be jettisoned in favour of things such as clothes, shoes, and toiletries. I’ve already notified the affected parties who will get their chocolate back after all the packing and weighing is done.
