2 weeks before D-Day
Two weeks before departure day.
Are we ready ? Well let’s see the checklist :
Plane tickets : BOUGHT, that was quite expensive but we are ready. We are leaving September 13th by bus (only 14 hours, just a starter to get ready for India) to Prague. Then we will come back to Paris from Budapest October 20th. The big trip starts then October 24th from Paris to Dehli. Our return is expected May 22nd from Hong Kong to Paris.
Injection : DONE for me. Hmmm, Jenny has still to do that. Appointment in hospital is already made.
Insurance : SUBSCRIBED. A cheap Australian insurance, but we hope that we will not have to use it.
Get money to travel : NOT FINISHED. On this point, we are still a little bit short. All contributions are welcome. Credit cards are accepted on this website. Thank you in advance for your sponsorship, we really appreciate it.
Get visa : DONE. Only the Indian visa, we will get the other ones directly in Asia, we don’t know where now.
Hotels booked : NOT DONE. We are not crazy, we don’t book any hotels. Just a guidebook to guide us to the cheapest hotel. Bugs and mildew included.
Buy stuff to travel : DONE. Backpack, shirts, shoes, water filter, mosquito repelent, sunscreen, socks, watches, guide books. I think we are all set.
Move : STILL NOT DONE. No we need to live somewhere until we leave. We will move in 10 days. We will put most of my furniture at my parents home. I just started to put all my stuff in boxes. Fortunatelly we don’t own a lot.
Get Jenny back in Paris : SHE’S STILL IN THE USA. She must come back Wednesday the 6th. I’m so happy about that.
Do all paperwork : ALMOST DONE. That’s the worst part of the preparation. Fortunately it’s almost done. Except for 9 Telecom, everything is going alright, incredible. Even changing address in French administration was ok : just done over Internet. Technology, that’s great.
So as you can see, we are getting ready but it was hard work. Don’t think that it is easy to prepare such a trip…
