INDIA

Today is the day!

Thank you to those of you who are tuning in again for our India adventure. I will try to keep up a little better than I did the second half of our South Dakota tour. The internet factor is a little unknown, but I promise to try my best!

It definitely feels surreal to be headed to the airport on a journey which has lived in my mind for many, many years. We are excited...and terrified. And we truly feel overwhelmed by the love and support we have received.

We will have a 9.5 hour flight to Frankfurt, a 5 hour layover, and then another 9.5 hour flight to Bangalore. Between that travel schedule and the time difference (12.5 hours ahead of PST), we are sure to be pretty confused/sleepy by the time we arrive. DO NOT WORRY though. I have been given explicit direction by Mom to get up and walk around often during the flight so as not to get a blood clot. So, if all goes as planned, we should be jet-lagged, custom-ed, and delivered to Shanti Bhavan school (clot-free) by late morning Wednesday.

It's hard to have expectations of a situation with so many unknowns. Above all, we are focusing on being present and open in our total experience and immersion into this new culture. We can't wait to see what that looks like in practice.

Now I'm off to check my luggage for the 86th time. We LOVE you all so much, and can't wait to check in with you soon.

xoxoxo,
