I'm going to India!

It is happening I am finally going to India!  Why now? 

1.  My fortune cookie said "you desire to discover new frontiers, it’s time to travel" and if you get a fortune that actually makes sense, it must be true!
2.  I finally have a permanent, full-time job which logically means dump everything and leave.
3.  I am turning 26 and discovered last November (when I travelled to Greece) that I quite enjoy this new tradition of treating myself to a birthday trip.
4.  Oh yeah, my dear friend Pooja is having a wedding celebration in Bangalore, India on 12/22 & 12/23
5.  Let's face it any opportunity to hop on a plane and fly somewhere exciting, I'M IN!  I've been known to get extreme bouts of wanderlust when I stay in one place too long. 

Generally, I am not a fan of blogs.  I think it is presumptuous and self-indulgent to assume that the entire world should wish to hear my personal thoughts on life or even one particular subject (sorry if I offended any of my wonderfully insightful friends who have blogs-not pertaining to you of course!).  So here is my justification for making one—I like easy practical mechanisms to be a good communicator.  Basically, pure convenience! I have no idea how much access to internet I will have along the way so I'd like to tell everyone I am alive at the same time!  I promise once I am safely home I will stop posting on the blog; at least until I am lucky enough to take another trip in the future.
