Something Borrowed...

There were a few gear items, that I was fortunate enough to be able to borrow from friends for the trip. The type of items, that I would probably only use once. Gaiters, head lamp, and water bottles (I have a few water bottles, but needed some Nalgene 1 liter bottles). Today Joe and I went to Travisa Outsourcing to get our Tourist Visas for India. This is a private organization that the India Consulate outsources to for Visa processing. It was a quick and simple process, and we will be picking up the Visas tomorrow. From what I understand it was quite a hellish experience when people had to deal directly with the Consulate. So there are just a few minor gear items for us to get, which we will tackle this weekend. I cannot believe we leave next Friday, the excitement is starting to build. I am reading more on other people's travel blogs about this trip. One of the things we are really curious about, is what the tea houses will be like.
