in the planning stage....

Joining friend, Jackie, in India in just over 2 weeks time!!
aaaaaaaggggghhhhhh!
Im nervous.
She is much younger, braver, funnier and probably nicer than me but we get on well!
We met on adventure trip to Peru in October 2006.
She is giving up work for a year or two to see the world!
Wow how brave is that?
Decided at short notice to join her at the start of her adventure.

She flies out end of Feb. I join her a week later.
I have flights booked and visa sorted.

First 2 nights in Delhi sort of booked and itinerary in mind:
Delhi, Agra (cant go to India and not see Taj Mahal can we?) Jaipur, Jodhpur, return via Jaipur for Elephant Festival then return home 22nd.
Would love to do Jaisalmer but bit near the border for my liking + limited time.

But how to get from place to place??
The website for reserving train tickets wont accept my money!!
Crazy and extremely frustrating.
And if we miss the bus its a mighty long walk to the next town!

Hoping to stay in homestays (staying with Indian families) or hostels..... Bit strapped for cash now thanks to my Rover costing bucket-loads in last 6 weeks.
No not my dog, stupid.

(My funds have to last 2 weeks. Jackie's have to last her 2 years!!)
Hee hee.


So there we are.

My mini adventure in India.

Im nervous and can't believe I'm going.

I could still just bottle out.........
but it's not my way......
