Getting Started

After quite a few months of searching the internet/tearing hair out/taking deep breaths, I now have a draft itinerary and am booking tours.  I am flying out to Delhi on 27th February and will start by looking around Rajasthan for 2 weeks.  Then train to Kerala, 5 days there - tea plantations, rice boat in the waterways - then to Beijing via Delhi (friends).  Then look around Beijing/Wall/Warriors.  Then work for 2 months in Butterfly Children's Hospice (http://www.butterflych.org/).  Then up a mountain with Midwifery with Altitude - http://www.mwacharity.com/ - back down, to Lhasa for trip Lhasa - Kathmandu via Everest Base Camp, a trip around a little bit of Nepal, Delhi (friends), then home on 4th July.  I'm getting through my jabs and am about to start applying for visas.  All hugely exciting.  But lots of organising this and that back here at home before I go - and Christmas is a month away.
