Day -3

lets start with 'aaaal izzz welll...aaaaal izzzzz welll'. yeah a good start to the day. Never thought I'd be thrilled to see the mail man deliver the mail that i almost hugged him. yeah, the documents needed for the travel have finally arrived.

now that portion of the debacle is over i went to get some souvenirs from villanova for the folks back home. It is time to pack now for the travel. oh wait, i have my camera bag packed already, so i am done packing, technically. :)

Day -4

Never thought traveling to India will be so exciting that I don't want to do this again. So, here we are day -4 of our travels, and not all the travel documents are in place. I will blame no one but me to have brought this on myself. Knowing the efficiency of the govt agencies, I should've acted sooner to send the paper work in to acquire necessary permission. I sent it early July after reading their website stating that it takes only 4 days to get the document. I slap myself for doing that...and if u readers hear me do that again, plz slap me on my face. i'll owe you one... :)

any way after no notification from the agency, after numerous futile attempts to contact them via email, phone, which i think are pretty basic forms of communication these days, i gave up and executed Plan B.

But now, I don't want to jinx it but 'aaaal izzzz well'!

Day -3 in NYC... watch for my updates.
