Going Tomorrow

Twenty-something hours of economy/coach jetflight begins tomorrow (april 13), knees hurt just thinking about it . . . all is set, will be staying in delhi for just 12 hours before i train out to agra for two days . . . then varanasi for a day or two, then north to the himalaya.

friend dale (in tampa) has connectd me with a friend of hers in agra who owns a travel service, so it looks as tho i will be well cared for during the "transition" days . . . checked weather in delhi (95 degrees), nutso that i'm leaving florida for someplace hotter and more humid, but that's how it is . . . i suspect the mountains will be a relief . . .

have added a few names to the list of recipients, so will send this along (while i can still correct bounce-backs) just to make sure all addys are valid . . .

on the eve of the trip the mood is surprisingly solemn, reflective and has that strange flavor one gets when knowing some very intense experiences are looming on the horizon, without really knowing what they are . . .

almost 9pm and still have to pack . . . damn.
