So...is this really happening? I'm not really sure yet...Neither am I sure what I'm going to do with my 7+ layover time in London since I have recently developed an unnatural fear of missing my flight to Delhi....but I'll cross that bridge when I get there I guess. For now, I'll worry about less important things, like my newly developed stuffy nose and scratchy throat...Is it too early to say that this must be Karma for not letting my mom pack that cold medicine in my suitcase? Can't wait to hear that "I told you so."In spite of challenges leaving my family behind, I must say that this has been going surprisingly smoothly. Today I can happily report that this is the third day I have been taking malaria pills, and the first time that I have not subsequently felt sick to my stomach....I can thankfully check throwing up on this flight off my list; or, at least for now...
On another happy note, I am very excited for my on-board entertainment, which includes the Avengers...a movie I have been very excited to see, and now I get to watch for "free." This joy over entertainment options is a pleasant surprise, since I was starting to have a mild meltdown over the fact that I will not have access to Luiggi's Netflix account in India, and will therefore not be able to watch the last two seasons of Lost...a recent obsession of mine. I guess I will have to wait to see how the "Oceanic Six" make it back to the Island upon my return, which I can live with since I'm about to travel halfway across the world and dive headfirst into a world that is foreign and amazing to me.
When most people find out I'm heading for India, they wish me luck, convinced that I must have been dragged there by the hair, kicking and screaming...but I am so grateful for the chance to have my own experience there...instead of listening to the experiences of others. So, bring on the culture shock....I can't wait to taste a little part of this amazing culture.
But for now, onto London...
