The day before the day I land in India

Location; London- Sitting on couch watching Deep Space 9 in Nuala's house
Status; third... maybe forth cup of tea but mouths still gasping dry and about tenth After Eight.... nervous, breathing heavy, face tightening, eyes constantly flicking towards clock on wall, tick tick tick (there’s a tock in there somewhere), every second my adrenal gland pumping ever harder still as it attempts to compensate for the near heart attack I feel coming on.... four, five hours away from flight start to Mumbai and the next 10 months of my life, away from home, away from family, friends and familiar faces!
This Blog lark is but yet another attempt for me to infiltrate and capitalise on the serious wonders of connectivity granted by the world of social networking. This will not be a magnum opus or an optimus prime for that matter, a mere flitter of information which I intend to bestow to all who know me as I wander, dander and most likely stumble blindly though a myriad of countries, a kaleidoscopic mish mash of cultures, languages and peoples as well as, I hope, the auspicious meeting of many, many friendly, similarly lost and foot weary buddies along the way.
This trip will take me from today, November 29 to India, to mountainous Nepal, the orient of South East Asia Thai, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos as well as a wee spin to Hong Kong and South China. Elsewhere the trail will take me to OZ, NZ and Figi and finally to South America where I’ll trek in Chile, Peru, Bolivia and party in Brazil and Argentina before home again sometime towards the end of August next year.
What I hope to find out there I don’t know, what I expect to find out there… again, I don’t know, what will happen… we’ll it wouldn’t be an adventure if I knew every single minutae of detailality.
For now, as I sign of on the first of several, Slan and Happy Out,
