I am not competitive or anything, but I really wanted to do the first blog of the trip. I never get to go first, so I am kind of sneaking it in.
We are leaving in seven hours and I just finished packing. Who knows what I forgot, but my suitcase now weighs 41 pounds. We are only allowed 44 pounds, and I don't think it is going to get any lighter on the trip. But I keep worrying that I am forgetting something and I won't be able to get it once we leave. Toilet paper comes to mind. I seem to remember our parents shipping cases of toilet paper to India. Maybe TH can send me some and have it there waiting when I show up.
I am thinking that we should enact a general rule that all bathrooms have to be uniform and western. Oh and clean. If you can't keep the bathroom clean (like putting paper on the seat and sitting on the paper and not peeing on the seat) than you can't use the bathroom.
I am also thinking that maybe I will leave a trail of clothes behind. Since I only have 44 pounds if I buy something on the trip I have to leave something behind. Since we are only doing the biking for the first week of the trip and I probably have 20 pounds of biking clothes I am thinking about leaving one piece in every place we stay and it will kind of be like leaving a little of me behind. In a 1,000 years some archaeologists will unearth my bike shorts with all my sweaty DNA on it and say hey did you know that their were Haplogroup: K1in Bhutan. Wow who would of thought.
Oops here comes the other MS so I better sign off before she sees me doing this.

TT&T are still trying to realize that you're going to be gone for over a month.
ReplyDeleteI think the "clothes trail" is a great idea - Taya could track you if needed (well, maybe not).
I hope you did bring some toilet paper since the high quality, soft & luxurious type you've grown accustomed to is likely not going to be readily available.
It's Friday, 11/26/12 & you both are in the air someplace over the Pacific. Taya is in the backyard stalking & Tolar is trying to shred something. In short, all the same at Casa la Slesnick SF
Seat? LOL!
