It's only 2 days before I leave on a trip I have been waiting for 5 years! I am feeling composed.
I am so curious.
I arrive in Mumbai at 11.30am on Tuesday morning - boxing day. I have no idea what to expect. I have been dipping in and out of books - fiction and non fiction - that talk of India. I suspect that Mumbai will be chaotic and mad, but I have no idea what impact this chaos is going to have on me. Everyone I have spoken to recently says I need to "be prepared". The funny thing is that for the first time in my life I actually feel prepared in being un-planned.
I am expecting to just go with the flow and to take it for what it is. I am prepared for that....
And beyond that I cannot prepare anymore.
That said, I have packed so much "first aid" - stuff I will probably end up throwing most of it out because it actually weighs a lot!
I have 3 cans on insect repellent, 2 bottles of antiseptic hand cleaner, wipes to last 3 months, and then the general toiletries. I should be OK.
It's going to be an adventure...I just want to get lost in the strangeness that awaits me.
I am prepared for anything and nothing at all.

Sofia,
Wishing you health, love and joy this season - and all the best for the adventure that awaits you! I know you'll take hold of the 'unexpected' in the best way possible. Make sure to use ASW - or email if you want some connections or tips.
love,
Jen
