Cuz I'm leaving on a jet plane!

6 (well, 5) DAYS LEFT UNTIL I LEAVE!!!!!!!! shoot!!!

SO much has been going on, and I don't think I can remember all of the CRAZY things that have seemed to surface..ticket drama, mostly. But, God is good, and He's handling ALL of it! :)

I wanted to do a mini product review/pictorial of the various items I (aka PARENTS) purchased- like:

  1. REI 30L pack-pack (as my brother use to say)
  2. Teva sandals (mens)....cuz I'm burly like that ;)
  3. Exofficio BuzzOff shirts, kacki pants, and sweater no mozzies fo meeeee!
  4. SteriPen- a small, travel friendly device that steralizes EVERYTHING in the water, so you don't get the lovely DIARRHEA/VOMITING (aka Dheli Belly)
  5. Mosquito net tent. Like a camping tent for one, but entirely made out of mosquito netting!
Those are the BIG purchase items amongst the accessories.

Everything else consisted of: WetWipes, Hand Sanitizer. and LOTS of Kleenex for toilet paper, my SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, snacks, duct tape, first aid kit, and a lot a MacGyver-esque items.

Perhaps I'll do a post India review instead. I can't believe it has taken me 3 days to complete this blog (It's now MONDAY). I still need to get my music on my ipod! PRIORITIES!!!!!!!!!!!

One thing I AM proud of... I can set up and completely break down my mosquito net tent in under 7 minutes....at midnight...when I was super exhausted. I figured I should time it when I was most prone to exhaustion and frustration....since I'm sure that I'll feel the same way overseas! And with practice, I'll be able to qualify for some Olympic tent event....

Ok....i KNOW Julie (WOOP WOOOOP) is chomping at the bit for this blog to be posted. So that's what I'll do. Maybe I'll come back and edit, and add pictures....but who am I kidding?

I start my anti-malariaials (aka my BFF's for the trip) todayyyyy!


Oh! Here's a sneak peek of one of the actual trains we will be sleeping in! i LOVE the internet, and the fact that people post their photo journeys on there!
