Making plans

Things have been hectic of late, what with my trying to get things ready for opening night and organising vaccinations for the trip to India. I've hardly had time to sit down, have a glass of wine and watch a DVD, or similar "chill out" activity.

I'm progressing with the trip to India despite the volatility in the region - the bombings in Delhi and the destruction of the Mariott in Islamabad (Pakistan). At the moment, the logistics of organising the trip occupy too much of my thoughts to make me worried - though after the Delhi bombing, I did entertain second thoughts very seriously. But, I think opting out because of this would be a cop out, and I would be robbing myself of one of life's seminal experiences. All nerves and anxieties aside, I think I will return from India having had one of the more unique experiences one can have in one's life.

For now, I just need to get the vacc jabs and obtain my Visa. It's been more than the anticipated 7-10 days and I have yet to receive word from the India Visa Office. I may have to give them a call to check - but will have to call early as they do seem to get busy after 10am.
