I’m all packed and ready to roll. At least I hope I’m all packed. I’m one of those travelers who always suspects he forgot something.

Actually, I have to be all packed because I’m already sitting in the Austin airport, awaiting my flight to Chicago O’Hare. From there, it’s about a five hour layover and then I board the (gulp) 15 hour flight to Indira Ghandi International Airport in Delhi.

I’ve got a window seat on the Delhi leg, which I hope is going to be the best spot. I couldn’t imagine being stuck in the third seat of a five seat row directly in the middle of the plane. The window seat means more pictures too so I hope I can get some good ones.

As far as entertainment goes, I have my laptop, which is loaded with TV shows, movies and a ton of music. It also has over 1,000 original Nintendo games on it so that should help kill time. I brought a couple of books too.

Well, this is it. The first leg of my trip to India begins in about an hour. Wish me luck.
