Waiting. Wondering.

Three more sleeps.

I am sitting alone in my living room. Waiting.

I know it's a big deal for me to be going to India. I feel the reality sinking in. My travel partners are feeling similar thoughts. Leaving your family, your work and your comfort zone for almost a month can be daunting as the time draws near.

I hope I can do this trip justice. I read that India is an amazing experience, a sensory overload of sights, sounds and smells. I don't want to miss any of it.

I don't feel afraid. If anything, I feel more alive than I have in a long, long time. I feel 23 again, and for that I am thankful. I am blessed with this great big life surrounded by a loving and supportive family. I will miss them.

The four of us will all come home with different stories. I wonder what they will be? We will learn new life lessons and I know we will be better for it. The Indian culture and their way of life has always fascinated me and now we get to live it.

Thank you.

Namaste.

Your Mom wishes you a wonderful adventure. I trust you will all look after each other as you share in the fun, the curiosity, the epicurean delights, the fragrances, the architecture, the scenery, the history and the smiles of new friendships...to name a few.
You all will be in my thoughts and prayers, Namaste.
