Hunting Lions

I really enjoyed reading the post! What a great story in prepartion for out trip--the symbolism was fantastic. I made it to the travel clinic yesterday, and after a few pokes in the arm. The trip seems more real. I am so excited that the end of Nov seems so very far away.

I am sorry I won't be able to join the group for the dinner on Oct 25th as I will be out of town. It promises to be a great opportunity to warm up to the "yellow food" idea.

Jet lag suggestions

I am interested in any of your strategies for dealing with jet lag. I have not been on an overseas flight for 30 years and welcome any suggestions from some of you more seasoned travelers.

I'm looking forward to embarking on this great adventure with you all!

People Watching in India

I admit- I don't love crowds, and sometimes feel overwhelmed and as though I am swimming up stream in thongs of people. But I have found that I can calm myself by stepping back and people watching. I amuse myself for hours in air terminals engaged my favorite "spectator" sport- watching the parade of people. I look forward to sensing the flow of Indian street- taking in new experiences, sights, sounds and even smells. Let the spectacle begin.
