Day One - Backpack adventures

After significant consumption of wine, my good Hope College girlfriends peer pressured me into starting a blog (who gives in to peer pressure at 24 right? Well apparently I do). Although I am pretty convinced they will be the only two people reading it, I decided it couldn't hurt. At least this way I will have a log of my trip to India, which is coming up so fast I can hardly believe it. So here it goes...

I am traveling around India with my friend Kateri and we went out for drinks the other night to discuss our plans. She told me about a fabulous backpack she had bought for our trip. It is going to be super comfortable and probably hold just about everything she needs. Well... me being the guilty spender that I am decided to borrow a backpack from one of Brad's friends (Brad assured me this backpack was big enough). NOTE TO SELF: Never believe a guy when he says a backpack is big enough - there is no way I am going to fit all the stuff I NEED for three weeks in this thing. But, I don't really have a choice and since it is India I am going to have to learn how to seriously downsize... yikes. Come to find out, this backpack has actually served multiple people on several trips all around the world which I find pretty cool. This will be the backpack's first time to India but it has been all around Europe, Africa, and I believe Australia - so it adds another country, and I suppose a new continent to its list of backpack adventures.
