Day 1: Delhi Airport

Father it has been 6 months since my last confession, I mean blog post.

I am Delhi airport, my flight to Jodphur was delayed by 3hours should leave here at 4.15 local time, then get collected in Jodphur for a 4 hour drive to Jailasmer, hopefully there before 9. New years party tonight so like the anti-Cinderella I have make it to the party before 12. Then we start the real journey tomorrow. The flight over was brilliant. When we checked in at Heathrow we were upgraded to business class (not sure why, think it was overbooked) so we had a bed each and champagne on arrival and a 3 course meal. Best flight I have been on. Our hotel last night was down a neon side street where the potholes were the size of craters but the room was clean and after 6 hours sleep (nothing like an electricity blackout to help you sleep) we are back in the airport. I will try and get internet as soon as possible and provide further updates

Just got signed up, I have been following the adventurist site for about a year but I finally got the timing, team mate and balls to do it.

I was on the sign up page hitting F5 Refresh for ten minutes coming up to 14.00, with google checkout and an actomic clock in seperate tabs. Staring at the "Not on sale" sign which at exactly 14.00 changed to "Sold out. I was just about to go postal when I hit F5 again and it said "Sign Up".

 There is a long way to go before we go to India but I am already buzzing with ideas and anticipation.

I am going to try and keep this blog going with regular/weekly updates.

Only 346 days to go

 Big Love
