I’ve booked my ticket. I’m ready to go. I’m leaving in 10 days. For those of you that are curious or concerned, here is my itinerary:
February 20: Take the 40-hour bus from Kathmandu to Delhi, as I did back in October
February 23: Take a 35-hour train to Bangalore, in the south of India.
February 24 – March 15: Explore the Southern area of India, specifically the regions of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Don’t worry – I won’t be alone. Three other friends from Kathmandu are coming, and we will be meeting two more of their friends in Bangalore.
March 15: Take the train from Bangalore to Delhi
March 19: Fly from Delhi to Chicago
March 19 – April ??: Visit friends, old professors, and families I used to babysit for. Sometime in April, my mom will pick me up, we will have a girls’ weekend, and then drive back to Toronto together.
So friends and family – I am officially leaving Nepal. It’s been an amazing time and part of me would love to stay, but it’s time to go. Indeed, I will miss the place and the people, but it’s time for me to be reunited with family and old friends, get a job, and begin the process of applying to grad school. So for those of you in Chicago, Toronto, and elsewhere, SEE YOU SOON!! Brittany’s coming home!!
