The countdown begins...


I just can't believe I'll be flying to Dehli on monday! It's surreal!
There was a little stressfull moment last week concerning our visas; the people of the visa agency called that we had to send additional information for our application within the hour, or our visas couldn't be arranged in time. With stress levels reaching into outer space, eventually everything worked out. Tomorrow we'll hear if our visas have been arranged in time. I'm a little worried though, but if they aren't on time, we'll just fly in one or two days later. So one advice people; if you are about to go to a country where you need a visa, send you application a few weeks before you leave and also get your shots a few weeks before you leave! It's so stressful if there's trouble with arranging it.
Anyways, Eva and me skyped Kaylee yesterday and I think everything except for our visas is arranged! I'm packing lightely for the journey. I will only take two outfits with me and only the essentials. The rest I'll buy in India. This because I don't want to have to carry a heavy backpack for a month with me. That was the case in Italy last November and I can tell you; it's no fun. So yet another travel advice; Only pack the essentials for your journey and a good, thick book!
Having watched the movie Darjeeling Limited last week with Eva made me so excited for India! It's a very good movie about three brothers travelling through India together on this awesome train! I hope the trains in India do look like that! Anyways, I recommend that if you go to India, you watch this movie together with Slumdog Millionaire. That will get you in a good Indian mood.
I think I will have trouble sleeping this last week before I leave. This week is already going too slow. Please! Make this week go by fast! Please!
