Preparations

The countdown has begun! In less than 2 weeks we'll arrive in another country...another continent! We're going to India for winter holiday.
So far, preparations have consisted merely of paperwork and vaccinations and a trip to the farm to drop off Juan for a few weeks. Philip has completed mounds of paperwork and Gretchen (now with a 10 year Visa to go to India anytime thanks to Philip's paperwork) experienced a series of vaccinations along with the side effects. Besides using Philip's personal knowledge, we've done some research regarding how to pack and prepare for the trip. Most entries warn me of "New Delhi Belly" or other lurking illnesses I'm bound to experience from the food or water and they all suggest that it'll be the trip of a lifetime.
Our house is full of excitement and curiousity.
