Getting Ready to Leave



We, my husband and I, began packing for india the other day. Our house is being subleased to a soon to be married couple who will be moving in April 23 and will live there till we get back on August 23. Our house was a disaster so we began packing up clothes in the bedroom, moving our bed into the living room (more room), we moved our couch into the bedroom so we would have a study area with the desk in the same room, and cleaned up the kitchen. We left enough cloths our for the next couple of weeks. We have to be our of our apartment on April 23 so we get to be homeless till the 28th. We need to stay in Provo because I will be working double shifts so here is to sleeping in the back of the truck and showering on campus! No we just need to do our actually packing for india. We are starting to prepare by buying the alternate plug-ins and getting clothes that we can take but after finals week it will have start becoming more and more prepared. We need to get bug repellents, malaria medication, our last Japanese Encephalitis shot, maybe water purification tablets, and train tickets. The website (http://traveltips.usatoday.com/travel-light-india-1062.html) I was reading suggested the following:

"Things Needed
  • 1 pair of closed-toe shoes/sandals 
  • 1 pair of light flip-flops 
  • 3 shirts and pairs of socks 
  • 2 pairs of underwear 
  • 2 pairs of trousers/shorts 
  • Paperback books 
  • Pocket digital camera with high-capacity flash disk" 


I am excited to get everything packed and ready. After our homeless week is over we will be able to stay up in Salt Lake until will leave on May 6th. We are both getting very anxious. Now the next thing we need to figure our is how we are going to travel in india. The indrail pass seems most plausible but we are debating whether we will pay trip by trip or just pay for the unlimited pass.
