Here I sit on my third plane ride in 36 hours…that’s a lot for this Florida girl who can count on one hand the number of times she has been out of the South. Last night on our ride to the airport it was surreal looking out the window at Delhi at night. The extent of my overseas travel experience has been what I can see from my couch watching The Amazing Race on TV. It does not feel real. I am excited that we will be in Calcutta in less than two hours. That will be the start of our official India experience. I realize how American I am. I am not sure how I will deal with the lack of sleep and lack of hot water. I am glad to be going through this; I need these challenges in my life. To be taken out of my comfort zone is a good thing for me. I like my routine and doing things my way.
I am most excited about being with the kids. I think it will be lots of fun.
I miss my baby. I hope being around all the kids doesn’t make me cry all the time. They will think this American is nutso.  Enough said.
