It's official!

Yesterday after Skyping with my parents, I went to the post office to check on the status of my visa application for India. (The Indian population in Dubai is so high that they have a visa services center within one of the main post offices. You don't even have to go to an embassy or consulate to apply.) And. . .approved! Yay! I don't have the actual visa in my hands yet; it is to be mailed to me (along with the return of my passport) either today or tomorrow. I'll be booking my flight today to depart for Mumbai on 5 December. The plan had always been to spend a month in India, so if that holds true, I will be there for my birthday, Christmas, and New Year's before I move on to the next destination. Of course, there's been a LOT of changes to my itinerary in the last six weeks, so don't hold me to it! :-)

So - I am VERY excited that I actually get to go to India. For awhile there I was worried that it wasn't going to happen. But now I have to get to work! I have to get a guidebook, book the flight, and start working on accommodations.

    I'm really glad you get to go to India!! I
    know you really wanted to go. I hope you get
    to meet as many great people there as you have
    in Daubi. So far, I think, all the pics you've
    taken, the one's of Daubi are the most coolest
    and the most beautiful!.

    Try not to party to hard the last few day's
    there. I know it will be hard, cause your friend's won't let you,but do let them all know that I am so glad they opened up there
    heart's to you the way they all have!.

    love you!
    Mom
