The Last Hurrah

As my bag still remains empty on the floor, this post will be short and sweet.
My flight to JFK leaves tomorrow at 3:06pm. Since my last post, I finished my summer job and have been preparing (as much as one can) for India. I have spent the last few days saying my farewells.
Today was spent knocking off the last few errands with my girlfriend Katie who is heading to Nepal next Wednesday for the semester. We met our friend Caitlin for a celebratory lunch. Despite the house being unusually full with people such as my Uncle Ray, friends of my siblings, and Katie, I have been feeling an eery calm, a sense of anticipation that acknowledges the fact it hasn't hit me yet.
My next post will be from India. I will be in Delhi for the first week so hopefully I can send an e-mail or make a post then.

Hi Matt, We've been thinking about you and hope your journey has begun without too many airline troubles. We're guessing you are there already and are curious as to how long your flight was, your connections, any delays, etc.
Hope you are settling in easily and comfortably. Looking forward to reading more of your journal. LOL RCarroll
