Crazeyness t-1 until journey to India

Well its all a bit crazy rushed in my world… I’m flying out tomorrow night and this morning I hadn’t even moved out of my place. So today I’ve don’t a bucket load of stuff including:

  • packing all my things, moving them into storage
  • cleaning the house
  • voting (yes Mr poo-head-Howard my vote will count!)
  • negotiating centerlink bureaucracy (Thanks Stacy!)
  • dinner with family (yum! Thai)
  • booking accommodation for Darwin (still have to find something for Chennai (eeek)
  • backing up my computer (phewww)
  • installing wifi @ dad’s place and giving him a crash course in using the iBook (arrghhhh)
  • backing my bag! (arrr….)

With all this busyness Ellie and I have not spoken in a week or so! So *fingers crossed* things are working out for Ellie over there. (There are sporadic emails and lists of things we send each other though ;)

Well back to it… I’ve gota check out what the climate is like this time of year in India. It has been so long since I looked at the guide book I have no idea what to pack. Ha.

see ya soon

My Cheap & Nasty Flight to India…

… WTF was I thinking?!?

picture1.jpg

Brisbane > Darwin ($176)

9:05pm (21st) > 12:35am (22nd)

Stopover: 24hrs 20min. Have to search out a nice hostel.

Darwin > Singapore ($195.25)

12:55am (23rd) > 3:50am (23rd)

Stopover: 13hrs 25min. Here I’ll be sleeping in the airport.

Singapore > Chennai ($195.25)

9:15pm (23rd) > 10:45pm (23rd)

Stopover: 26 hours 55minutes. Have to search out a nice hostel.

Chennai > Delhi ($200)

1:40pm (24th) > 4:15pm (24th)

Total One Way Cost: AU$766.5

Cheap as anything… just not very convenient. Mind you, it will be a breeze compared to last summers overland adventure. I’ll keep you posted on how this unfolds.

How am I feeling; a little numb, nervous, tired (from all the adventures since finishing exams). I think the excitement will start soon and peak when I get to the run way.

Nighty night,

The infamous N
