Fond Farewell

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

Well, it’s about 6PM here, and in an hour we are catching a taxi out to the airport and heading out. Incredible to think tonight is liftoff. Not too much since we wrote last, which would account for the lack of general blogging since then. We had a horrid 20 hour train ride to Delhi (we departed at 4PM and didn’t get into the city until about noon the next day…ugh…I mean, ugh…), and immediately following we both got sick in varying and, uh, interesting ways, all them equally undesirable.

We’re blogging live from Jaisalmer today, and first off we want to apologize for the long stretch since the last post. When we last wrote, we were leaving Jaipur, heading to Jodhpur. We had planned on doing a post there, and simply didn’t get around to it, and since we’ve been here in Jaisalmer we really haven’t been on the internet very much due to that fact that the whole town has dial-up, and absolutely ANCIENT computers (I think I saw the model from my freshman year in college), so it’s been pretty painful being online. Hard to believe, but we have only 6days left on our trip (we head back to the States next Tues. evening, the 18th). We’re starting to put our last week into shape, tonight we catch a train at 4pm, and have a LONG haul through the night, back to Delhi, which gets in about 10:30AM. That will be, more or less, our base camp for until we fly out of there next week. [read on]
