India: A Journey of Enlightenment

In the summer of 2013 I traveled to India.  It was my intention to blog each day about the sights, sounds and my experiences.  Reality has a way of changing things.  It didn't happen.  However, each day affords pleasant memories of sights, sounds, people and experiences lived.

In six short days I will have traveled outside the United States alone for the first time in my life.  I will have also set foot in India for the first time.  Come to think of it, it'll be a first for  leaving my dog behind for an extended period.  She'll be staying with grandma and will be fine I'm sure.


It would be less than honest to say I have no reservations.  I wouldn't classify myself as a risk taker.  And I would classify myself as shy.  So, to travel so far afield alone is a huge step. It is a risk of sorts and I will be forced to talk to people I don't know.  The good news is that I won't be alone once I arrive.  I'll be staying with a dear friend from college until I leave for Nepal.

Good points! I remember being terrified not just as I left for college but all through the first part of the first year and through the many firsts college included and led to. Those memories can give us compassionate hearts can't they?! Hope your trip goes well. It's really great you are getting a chance to do this. I'm curious to hear all the news you share. Hugs to you and Pris as you visit. She always has stuck out in my memory quite thoroughly event though I have not kept in touch through the years as you and Julia and Pris have done!
