But first, Confessions of a Serial Aunt: It's hard to resist playing and hugging and kissing two little two year olds who have the onset of a cold. I think once you become an aunt, the sight of boogers and the sound of a hacking cough is no match to your "Oh, but you're still so cute!" mentality. Thusly, I have a slight tickle in my throat...it's my own fault and it was totally worth it.
Playing with the toddlers aside, the past few days have been crazy busy. I was previously nervous about staying in Delhi on our own...but now, thanks to the power of random strangers/distant relatives of even more distant friends, we are crashing with a family in central Delhi. My folks set it up for us and it's a sister of a childhood friend of my dad...he met her the last trip and says she's very sweet and has a couple of kids that will be good companions. It's nice to have that kind of generosity from strangers, and I trust that my parents aren't throwing us to some crazies (fingers crossed anyhow).
So, when I land, this family will pick me up and I'll spend the night with them, then be off on a train (5 hours by myself!) to Jalandhar, which is in Punjab and a family member (who I've actually met before) will be there to pick me up. Then it's family fun for 12 days before heading off to Delhi and starting our India a la carte adventure.
Looking forward to the flight tommorow (bulkhead aisle seat and a personal tv woohoo!). Hope I can get some sleep tonight.
Let the adventure begin...
