I'm posting this one last entry before catching the plane in a few hours. The weather in Dharamsala shows (check the link on the right if you haven't yet) that the temps so far have been in the low to mid 70's and evening temps in the 50's. On June 2nd (when I get there), the sun comes out, the temps go up 10-15 degrees and the weather is supposed to be clear and HOT...in the upper 90's. So much for cool weather that has been going on up until now.
Plastic bags are a great help in keeping it all organized and I'm trying to fit it all into as little space as possible. Bryce emailed a couple of days ago saying that the Air Deccan flight will charge me for the bags so I have to get some rupees right away.
I succumbed to an ad in one of the travel magazines for a blow up seat supplement. It says "travel like first class while in coach". I tried it yesterday while Bob was rolling his eyes. It seems like one of those gimmicks that will either be great or a total bust. I'll let you know. You inflate it with about 10 breaths and put it behind your back. It looks like it might take up more of the seat than me and I suppose blowing it up might create a bit of an event on the plane but at least it deflates and rolls flat to go back into my backpack if I don't like it. Once I try it out, I'll let you know if it was worth it or not.
I'm waiting curiously to see how the flight passengers will act. A doctor told me that many people are now taking sleeping meds for the flight. And, if any of them gets the Ambien sleep walking urge, I wonder if we'll have a plane that looks like the movie Night of the Living Dead. George Romero would love it! Check out the photo slide show from this 1968 classic.
Next posting will be from India presuming I can get to an internet cafe. Talk to ya soon from across the pond!
