Almost there....

http://www.traveldestinationsofindia.com/photo-india/Bigger%20Images/india.jpg

I am packing...there is lots still to be done. It is a big process. You have to figure out what you have to bring. How many pairs of socks do you pack? Do I even need socks for India? You ask yourself silly little questions.

BUT- I am ready.

It's been a hectic week. Completing exams and trying to pack. There is a bright thing at the end of the week and that is leaving for India on Sunday. I will miss my family. I am ready to start this new adventure.

I can understand that these posts have been probably quite boring. So give me a chance to jazz it up a bit.

I will be working in the maternity department of the Meenakshi Mission Hospital. I am excited. I will get to wear scrubs and watch surgeries.

See: www.meenakshimission.org

I will be living with a local family. I'm not sure if they know english. But, it'll work.

I will travel every other weekend with the group. I think this will be nice to meet some other western volunteers.

Flight plan:

JFK

to

Brussels

to

Mumbai

to

Chennai

to

Madurai.

I think that southern India is primarily Vegetarian. That is good.

I will update you when I arrive there.
