Lists...

So less than 48 hrs to go and I am down to a bunch of lists of things to do.

• Don't forget passport  Already packed in carry-on
• Don't forget carry-on (See above regarding passport)
• Don't forget wallet Already in purse
• Don't forget purse (See above regarding wallet)
• Don't forget brain Already in head
• Don't forget to have head attached to body (See above regarding brain)

Anyway everything is list right now so here is a couple of others.

Top 5 things I look forward to in India:

1. Food: India is a great food country and my favorite is Masala Dosa. Yummy and I have missed it since I left last time.
2. Sights: India is a technicolor, overly saturated vision. Great for photography because there is so much to see just in a walk down the street.
3. People: Indian people very gracious and welcoming they make it fun to be in their country.
4. Housekeeping: I don't like cleaning OK? 7 weeks of someone making my bed and cleaning my room for me... paradise. I can't help that I have CDD (Cleaning Deficit Disorder).
5. Buying Stuff: India is a stuff buying magnet. You find such interesting, inexpensive neat things that you can't help but buy them and I do love to shop. Unfortunately, on my first trip I went a little overboard. I had so much stuff that I couldn't fit it in my suitcase. Luckily a BCD manager was on a passing visit to India. She was sad she hadn't been able to do any shopping on her trip. So... Presto... instant suitcase bazaar. Yep, I was hawking stuff out of my suitcase in a way that would have made a street vendor envious.  

Top 5 things I will miss:

1. Sam, my dog: He is already giving me moppy looks as I pack. I keep trying to get him to crawl in the suitcase but he won't do it... even for a biskie. Oh and yes I will miss CodyBear, the insane cat and Terra the Terriorist (my mom's dog)
2. Fast food and TV: Disgusting isn't it? Oh well the hotel has a work out room so I can use that time I would watch TV to work out. I really intend to do it... ;)
3. Black Friday: Turkey Shmurkey... the main geek holiday is Black Friday. What can I say... I love cheap tech. Oh, and November 20th... Kindle Fire HD 8.9" 4G LTE Wireless tablet launch day... sorry I won't be there for your launch. I will have to buy you when I come home.
4. My Car: Initially, it's fun to have someone drive you around but towards the end I just miss grabbing my keys and going for a ride.
5. People: Of course I will miss everyone at work, my family and all my friends. I will miss you all.... almost as much as my dog. :)
