After spending almost a month in the Middle East visiting my parents with my brother, I found that it was time to leave the comfort of the familiar to strike India off my bucket list. After dropping off my brother in terminal 1 for his flight back to the states, I proceeded to T3 to get some rest before my flight the next morning. T3 is what you would imagine the interior of an intergalactic spaceship would be, self sufficient and full of people just passed out (partly because of bad winter weather in the US). I will rendezvous with my buddy Dan who has already started traveling for almost a week. I've also customarily posted my gear and plan in detail in the previous post. Among the stuff I have are:
- A week's supply of fresh clothes
- Gorilla pod for taking long exposure shots at night, with the camera capable of hanging on a tree
- Panasonic ZS7 point and shoot camera (for it's 12x zoom and compact size)
- IPod Touch (I won't have a laptop to lighten my load so most of my updates including this
- nature valley oats and honey cereal bars (those of you who have lived with me know how religious I am with cereal. Besides, I had the great experience of being trapped in the Egyptian desert for 23 hrs in a public bus and I don't want to be unprepared again)
- insect repellent with so much deet it will melt your clothes off
- prescription malaria pills and industrial strength diarrhea pills
- lonely planet India guide
- an anything-goes attitude
- oh, and cash
