In about twelve hours the wife and I begin the 24-hour, 9,600 mile (15,450km) plane journey from San Francisco to Munich, Germany to New Delhi, India. We’re spending what’s left of 2004 on what we’re calling our honeymoon—a casual meandering on planes, trains, automobiles, camels, and boats through the Indian subcontinent. The immunizations have been had, the cameras have been packed, the laptops are thankfully staying at home, and the dogs and house will be well-cared for by a housesitter from Melbourne.
As I mentioned in a farewell email to the mother-in-law, we intend to come back in on piece, accompanied by plenty of photos and stories and as few parasites as possible.
I’ve more or less promised myself to limit my internet time on this honeymoon to booking tickets and hotels and checking weather at internet cafes. It has been twelve years since my last trip to India, and it and I have a lot of catching up to do. Unless I change my mind, then, this will be the last etherfarm post until 2005.
You know the drill. Have yourselves a happy holiday season and a joyous new year and yadda yadda yadda, blah blah blah.
