India is calling me on my shit! I am an over-packer and I guess India is going to show me I don't need all that stuff. I still don't have my bags and I wonder if I ever will????Here's how the 60 + hour journey to India went:
Notes from the road...
- 9/30/09 Flew to NYC, both bags were overweight but not as expensive as I feared.
- 9/30/09 Leaving penny was like ripping my guts out. All is well though, on the road. As Pattabhi Jois would say, "Why fearing? All is coming!"
- 10/1/09 Flight to Mumbai was cancelled waited in world's longest line to reschedule. Off to rough start!
- 10/1/09 Lost both overweight bags already, they didn't make it to the counter in time for my new flight. Had to make tough call and take new flight anyway.
- 10/1/09 On kuwait air now headed for Mumbai again from JFK...
- 10/2/09 OMG 60 hours in and it continues... Sat in plane on runway for four hours waiting for weather to clear. They finally just let us off. No idea if /when I'll ever make it to goa. Running out of steam, becoming narcoleptic. Gave away only clothes I had when they made me check my carry on bag. Down to no bags and iPhone is out of batery (me too).
- 10/2/09 3 full days later, I arrive. Thank god penny wasn't with me. So this is india. It has been tremendously dysfunctional and frustrating but you know I met so many kind faces along the way, people who tried to help me and take care of me.. India may not work very well but the people are wonderful.
- 10/3/09 Slept flat on a bed for a few hours. A little jet lagged and hungry but doing fine
10/05/09 I need a penny mule. I don't think I can live w/o her. Cried 3 times today about her. Pathetic. Landlord said I could have a dog no problem. Ouch.
I mean, come on, isn't she cute???
