Its January 3rd, I'm in Chicago now about 4 hours before leaving for the airport. The flight to Chicago was very smooth with no hold ups. That was the worst of my fears was getting to Chicago because of bad weather or something like that. The day here is perfect, not a cloud in the sky. Of course it's only 5 degrees outside, but at least no rain or snow. I had breakfast this morning at a place called Earwax. LOL - its a really good mom & pop type restaurant with good service and the food is great - plus they cook real food the way I like it!
Many of you asked how much do you take on a journey for two months. Here it is.....This is all I'm taking with me. hard to imagine isn't it. Much of the stuff in the large case is things like shampoo, vitamins, shave gel, yoga mat, etc. Oh and of course peanut butter! the large bag weights in at 35 lbs and the backpack 30 lbs!
The day before I left Las Vegas, Jan 1st, I came down with a minor case of food poisoning! Sorry to the friends that I had made plans with that night - I came home from work early, and after getting rid of what was in my stomach, I slept from about 5 pm until 6 am the next morning, the big day. I had an 8 a.m. massage at CR, then a haircut.....yeap, didn't want to deal with hair while I was gone so off it came! After that I took Gonk over to Edie's house who is taking care of her while I'm gone, and then off to the airport.
This is the last blog I will be able to enter until I reach my destination of Kovalam Beach, South India. I have 20 more hours of air time with a 5 hour layover in London and a 3 hour layover in Bangalore. I will enter a new blog when I arrive - I hope you are all well.......
