833... Hours Till We Board Our Flight

....or 5 weeks from today, give or take an hour or so :)

Five weeks seems insanely close to me, and I feel like there is still so much to be done. It's all manageable, but those who know me well, know how I am about details, and getting things done well before necessary, especially when it comes to travel. Mom always jokes that there is no one she trusts more on a road trip, because I have all the bathroom stops, snack stops and shopping outlets mapped out long before we hit the highway :) For India however I am feeling a bit stunted... I will have to rely heavily on Ajay and family to direct me. Imagine, me not in control... lol :)

One of the things that I am really looking forward to is buying a traditional saree. I am in love with this one, but I think it might be a bit formal :)

For those interested, and it is indeed interesting, this is a good pictoral of how to wear a saree. I think it's going to take two or three tries till I get this down pat. Then again, maybe I'll be a natural.... keep your fingers crossed. I can't wait to head out with Mummy Jaan to get fitted for my first saree... though the thought of a crop top is not very appealling, perhaps I can negotiate something a little longer.
