4 sleeps to go!

So the last time I posted, we had 96 sleeps to plan this trip. Not a lot of planning has been done, and now we have only 4 sleeps. YIKES! Where did the time go?



We are making headway this evening. Our backpacks have been brought up from storage and dusted off. We've thrown things like toilet paper, wet ones, day pack, temple socks, pro-biotic pills, money belts, sunscreen, bug repellent, adapter, camera charger, extra memory card, thumb drive and lots of other things in a laundry basket, which will make packing easier (theoretically). Next it's time to decide what clothes not to bring. It's easy to choose things to bring, but less easy to take stuff away. In the long run though, it's better to pack to light and buy what you forgot than to carry too much stuff. I also called India tonight, to book a hotel in Bangalore (aka Bengaluru). That's a bit of a stray from what we usually do, but we're getting old and soft in our advancing age, and it's kind of nice to know where we'll be staying the first couple of nights in a VERY foreign land.



In a mere five days we will be in London, visiting our good friend Per. Friday night we'll kick off our vacation with a visit to St. John Bar and Restaurant. Check out the menu! Pig's Head and Potato Pie anyone?

Here's hoping the weather is less snowy than it is now!
