Back from India



Well, I'm back. There was little time for anything extra so didn't get to blog except once on my travel blog. I'm not taking a class during my next trip so hopefully I'll have a bit of time to add tidbits as I'm traveling.
India was amazing. The people are so nice, the traffic is a nightmare, the food is delicious and the place just fascinated me. I only got to do sightseeing about 5 hours in Hyderabad and 4 hours in Delhi so I didn't get to see much. Next time I'm planning extra days to take in the sights and hopefully 5 - 7 days at the end to take in Goa and the Himalayans. Goa is considered the Cancun of India but I hear it's quieter than Cancun.

The trip was extremely stressful as I had not planned enough time there and was in class so I didn't get much sleep. The sleep depravation added to the stress and my not feeling very well. It appears I suffered from jet lag the whole trip. Yesterday I slept until noon and still didn't feel like I'd caught up on my sleep. Last night I was up late doing homework and catching up with everyone so only got around 7 1/2 hrs sleep but I'm beginning to feel human again!
Next trip is to the Philippines. I'm not sure what to expect but hopefully it will be as much fun as the India trip, plus I'm not in class so I hope to get sleep this time! I'm adding a few days to the trip so I will have enough time for the audits and maybe a few hours here and there to do a bit of sightseeing.

That's all for now...check out my travel blog for pics from the trip.


PS, It snowed here just before I left...I'm posting the pictures I took on my way to the airport.

Eee Gads, I'm freaking out!

Ok, maybe that's a tad bit on the dramatic side but in one week I'll be flying off to India! Yikes, am I ready for this? I hope so. I went to the store and spend gobs of money on the first aid s$#t that I hope I don't need. I'll stick to bottled water...unopened by the way...and hot, cooked food and should be ok. Oh, darn, I forgot bug spray! Crap, I'll need to go back to the store again tomorrow to pick some up. Going to get my hair dyed and cut sometime this week, gotta get the reports run and sent out, the other reports completed and ready for the audits...goodness gracious, it's going to be a stessful week.

I follow a bunch of blogs and have slowly been checking them out...the Daily Blonde is great and love her on Twitter. Another favorite is The Bloggess, who I also follow on Twitter. The Bloggess is hilarious. Wish I was half as funny as she is.

UPDATE 1: Ok, found another great blog...Barb Jacobucci's Nice Shoes and other life observations. I'm digging it. Wish I had more time to check out the others...slowly but surely making my way through.

UPDATE 2: I have one lonely follower! I'm sure I'm boring him to death, if he even reads my rambling nonsense. If you do read this dear follower, hello and I hope you aren't too bored.

UPDATE 3: I know, I know I'm obsessing...don't forget the brick...he must go to India! And must have pictures!!! Don't forget camera....AAAAAAHHHH!!! Gotta finish my paper and go to sleep now. No more blogging for tonight.
