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.

Butterflies

Only 3 days until I fly to India...I've got butterflies in my stomach! I'm looking forward to the adventure. Lori is meeting me at the airport so at least I won't be searching for a ride. Gotta remember to take pictures and will post them here. Won't be getting much sleep but oh well, I won't be back until next year so I've got to enjoy the trip.

Still need to get some insect repellent and stockings but other than that I'm set. Working to get ahead with my studies so I won't have that hanging over my head for the trip. Since I have a direct flight going and a split flight coming back I'll be able to judge which is better. That trip over is one long flight, almost 16 hours. Definitely gotta get some sleep on the plan so I'll be ready for work Monday night..well, it'll be Monday day for my timezone but night in India. I'm sure my body and mind will be totally confused!
