OK. I'm not all that sober right now. In fact... I'm VERY not sober. I'm actually out of my mind. But I'm writing this anyway.

OK. So I'm really excited about India! And that's about all I can say to everyone I've been meeting and talking to.

I'm looking forward to chillin with you peeps in the mountains and the North of India, yo!! ;)

Damn!...

two more days of work

Hey everbody,
Just wanted to let you know I'm mentally and physically preparing for this adventure.
I'm a little green (that a sample of me with altitude sickness...hopefully not!)
I've been running twice a week and biking everyday... just to get my cardio ready!
As for gear, I haven't bought group gear yet, so let me know what you want me to bring (ie pots, stove, etc).
I've got my hiking boots broken in (spent a week hiking at Lake Superior provincial park) and I've got my trekking cloth picked out, still need to buy some sandals though...
I'd like to set up a MSN chat ( so we can go through our checklist of equipment), perhaps next Monday night (August 21st) might be good?
Looking forward to meeting and seeing all of you.
Definitely an adventure we are going on!

I thought this was a good informative reading. I will add this link in the links section of my blogs also.

Trekking Stuff for Sept Group

This will be short message
I just wanted to say that I have two tents in India .... one is a two person North Face tent and another one is a cheapo Hudson Bay Company tent; so i think we will manage about the tents.

Another thing I wanted to discuss is that I was thinking that Delhi is too big and so we will have to spend too much of time in order to shop around for small stuff before leaving for Manali. I would recommend that we do our small shopping before the trek at Chandigarh (CHD) where everything is very close to each other and CHD is on the way to Manali from Delhi. But the problem is that we can't get any trekking gear from CHD. So let me know if any one of you intend to buy some trekking gear from India and we can plan accordingly.

BTW I bought a pretty decent hiking pole from a trekking gear shop in Delhi for something like $25. If any one one of you want a hiking pole too, I can get that for you guys.

bye for now .... Sarju
