It is said that the longest journey begins with a single step. We have been taking a lot of steps for months preparing for our big trip to India. First there was my passport renewal. Then getting visas. Then doctor appointments to figure out which shots we needed. Then the series of shots themselves. Buying airline tickets, checking out side trips, information about dental work there, getting some rupees ordered from the bank, buying "stuff" for the trip...clothes, mosquito spray, gifts for the family. Finally, we are packed (almost) and ready to drive to Seattle today. Our flight leaves tomorrow at 6:45 for Heathrow, a one hour connection to our flight to Chennai. A total of around 22 hours in the air. It should be interesting!
Poker connection....not much, but will take my laptop and may be able to get in a real money game or two online as my IP address is not U.S. Anyway, gotta go walk the dog and throw a few last things in my suitcase.
New update, just found out we cannot bring rupees into India!!! Now I gotta take them to the currency exchange at airport and pay to exchange back!!!!
Packing for trip is tricky, have been going for 2 hours splitting up stuff and making sure that we are not bringing too much valuable stuff in and hiding stuff that could get stolen.
