And I'm off!

Day 1: Leave house around 4:30am on the 31st of May, flight leaves at 7:45. Subsequently, I fly from Seattle to New York, to Brussels, to New Delhi arriving at 11:45pm on the 1st of June. Without a doubt, my longest flight ever... I've got a new book, a National Geo and my new journal (that I purchased some time ago in anticipation of a trip to India - so excited to christen it!), my ipod, a couple snacks and some mouthwash (less than 3oz of course) so I feel as prepared as I can be!

The numbers: This will be my 24th flight of 2008 lasting approximately 30 hours, staying for 10 months and I'll be landing in my 26th country of my 26 years!

*Let it be known, I have no idea how good of a 'blogger' I will be, but I have had enough requests, dare I say prods, to start one so here I am. I look forward to sharing insightful musings whenever I can about my epic tour of India and the near East and I hereby entreat you to leave your thoughts/feedback as I love hearing from you, my wonderful friends and family - Most of all - Enjoy!
