24 Days Until India--what's a girl to do?

I have been slowly preparing for the trip. I thought I'd just have my essentials by now. Everything else cleared out and gone. This proved to be more challenging that expected. I suppose I work better with a deadline and under pressure. So with less than a month to go, the clock is in motion, the to do list is in my hand, it is time to get down to business. Now with the anticipation of the departure overriding the feelings of impending doom (what are we going to do? are you coming? etc.), it is a bit easier to make the piles and fill the garbage bags.

It is a little depressing--not the cleaning out part, the fact that a good majority of my stuff is garbage. I just want all my little memories to continue in the happy care of somebody and not a landfill.
