SPRINT!

Sorry I've been quiet but getting ready for this trip has been mind-bogglingly difficult. Of course, we're both really OCD about checking and re-checking every possible hotel 20 times in every guidebook and travel forum.

At this point, three days before we fly, we have all our trains booked and we have places to stay everywhere but Amritsar. If we don't nail down a hotel there, we can stay free in a dorm at the Golden Temple, the holiest site of Sikhdom. Frankly, I'm trying to get the air conditioned place across the road from the temple.

We're splurging in a couple of places, including Varanasi. Splurging in India means paying as much as $30 Canadian. I'll post some links to our hotels if I have a minute. HA!

Take a roll of toilet paper. Seriously!

I like the new icons. I've been thinking about doing some scans of Carey's run, but I am currently scanner-impaired. Meh.

Also... didn't mean to shove the beta thing into the fire with all your trip stuff. I really don't care if it's all torn apart and stuff. I'm sure I'll figure out most of what you would have said. Still totally jealous of your excursion. And, me being me, I totally understand the want and need to repeatedly check and ensure the accomodations and arrangements.

Yay for leaving soon! Only $30 Canadian?! Heck, maybe I ought to look into traveling to India some time, that's cheap! Right now I'm thinking my next trip will be to San Fransisco in January (if I get a job between now and then...). But I didn't know India was so cheap...hmmm. :P

Have a wonderful trip. I hope you both come back more relaxed, happy, and ready to face the day to day with smiles on your face. *hugs*
