On my way...

Counting down the minutes - we leave at 7:00 for the airport. I'm nervous, anxious, excited... wondering if I brought enough everything...

My last couple of days have been full of sweet gestures of support ranging from the card from a neighbor slipped under my door to the beautiful bracelet made from a stone that offers protection that arrived by mail to the ziplock bag of airplane bottles of booz that a friend brought over... everyone has their own special, thoughtful way of wishing me well.

I'm taking the big camera - we went back and forth a million times on whether that was smart or not (apparently there is some petty theft in the living quarters of the ashram) but I think its a measure of my excitement about what I hope to see and experience that I just couldn't stand to go without it.

Anyway, thanks everyone... especially Matt who has been nothing but supportive as I whine about suitcases and work and number of sports bras... and I'll be in touch!
