Waiting

I've been home in glorious (grey) Manchester for three and a half weeks now. I've caught up with friends, re-bonded with my nephew, put on 4 kilos of English food weight, traveled around the UK a little and sorted out the basics for my trip to India. All in all, I'm ready to leave. 

Of course I'm still yet to see my parents, which I'll be doing next week in Spain, but other than that I'm impatient: I want my adventure to start NOW!

There not much left for me to do in terms of preparation; the flights and hostel are booked, I've got insurance, malaria tablets, and a rough idea of where we're going...

So I'm just waiting really. Waiting for August 7th. Waiting for India!!
