18hrs on a plane and about 9 hrs waiting time, I finally made it. It was a really long trip. I ended up forgetting my Lonely Planet guide to India on the 2nd flight so I'll have to find some other type of guide. Somehow I have a feeling tha not having a guide book won't be that big of a deal...I'm sure someone else in the tour group will have one.
I took some pictures on the taxi ride to the hotel, but the computer I'm on is fairly old...no USB connections so I can't upload anything at the moment. I'll have to wait and see.
My intial experience with India was an assault on the sense. There's so much to take in. There are a lot of smells...good and bad. A constant noise of traffic and beeping of little car horns. It's hot and humid and everthing is wet. The plane arrived in the middle of a downpoar...the temperature was 34C. There are some really run down places alongside some really nice places. People are pretty friendly though. Maybe it was because I was really tired (I slept for about 6 hours after I checked into the hotel), but part of me was wondering what the hell I was doing here. A little sleep gave a new outlook. I feel excited...can't wait to meet the group tomorrow.

Have a great time at the camp HA HA
I hate to tell you I told you so
Dear Ramzi,
If you wanted bad smells...you didn't have to fly half way around the world. All you had to do was come to Ottawa for a drive in Dan's car!!!! Just kidding - glad you arrived safely, have a great trip and we look forward to living vicariously through you! C and D
Hey babes!!! Have a safe and fun trip. Can't wait to read up on your travels. Don't forget to "landmark" as many ppl as you can. Did you get that? I got it! Ciao for now...and have a blast! Can't wait to see the pics of your trip.
