Time is a ticking.....

Well, it's now officially three weeks until we set off to India to begin our adventure. It has taken so much longer than expected to make all the necessary arrangements, and so many more things then we first realised needed to be sorted out. Still needing to be sorted are: a police check, jabs, visas, how on earth I am going to manage money and what on earth I am going to pack.
On that note, what on earth AM I going to pack? I was thinking about this the other day. Obviously you want to look nice but I just dont think it is going to be possible. Its going to have to be Trek Plus jackets and super-breathable t-shirts. What shoes do you wear? Clearly open toe shoes would be cooler, but they are going to rub aren't they really. Trekking boots would be ideal, but way too hot. So maybe cross country trainers? Then again, they would be taking up valuable space really wouldn't they. Although I could hang them from my bag like they do on TV. Hmmmm..... so much to think about. I have no idea how I am going to pack my whole life into a rucksack, what if I forget something? I know that I will be able to pick up things there but say, what if something embarrasing breaks, like a bra or something..... where on earth will I buy a new one if im in the middle of no-where? Or will i have to go without for a year?! Maybe I should take two backpacks, just to be safe....
