Visa: check. Plane ticket: check. Immunizations: scheduled for Thursday.

Wooooo, this excursion is really going to happen! Now I just need to finalize my itinerary (which I can't do until Megha is at home in Ambala around December 10) and collect addresses from people who want postcards.

Oh -- just got an email from Sandhya, an Australian friend from the Space Generation Congress. There's a small chance that I might be able to meet up with her in India while she is visiting family. And my "boss" from the project in Mojave will be flying into New Delhi around January 15 en route to somewhere for a 3-month music school; I may be able to meet up with her, too.
