Getting ready

It's been a long day getting ready today.. its 2:23am and I am not least bit tired. I guess I got so much on my mind. I hope I got everything packed. Weird weather with heavy winds and snow drifting all day.. hopefully there will be no delays at the airport with all these new security rules that has just come in. I guess I am bit anxious being diabetic and carrying so many diabetes supplies like needles, insulin and snacks in my carry-on and hopefully I'll be able to board the plane without any hassles. I have my doctors note with me and I hope they will let me carry all my supplies in my hand luggage without having to check it - which worries me about my supplies getting lost in case my suitcase doesn't make it to Mumbai.

My first trip to India after being diagnosed with type-1 diabetes and getting a bit worried about my very first day with 10.5 hours time difference. I always has low blood glucose/sugar (BG) with 6 hours time difference in Europe so this will be a new challenge for me.

My flight lands in Mumbai at 1:35am early Wednesday morning and by the time I clear customs and take the taxi , get to the hotel and get some sleep it will be 3:30am. I better ask for a wakeup call and sleep with the lights on just in case I sleep the whole day god knows how I tired I will be after traveling almost 24 hours.

My first appointment with the agency is at 12:30pm, I am so glad that I changed to the hotel nearby instead of having to trek from Colaba which would have taken me almost 2.5 hrs by taxi, 2 hrs by train? What was I thinking? I guess I was dreaming about walking around Colaba on Thursday without thinking about the heavy day on Wednesday.. goof.

I am looking forward to Mumbai - I was there 2004 and hoping my experience will be easier on the first day. Lots riding on it and I am hopeful that I will get through the first day without any hiccups. I will post when I am able from Mumbai or Chennai. See you guys on the other side of the Atlantic.
