Preparations & Posterings

We leave for London and India in two days. We’re packing as light as possible . Our instructions were to bring cotton dresses to India and warmer clothing for our London tour. My lap top is key, a few books and DVD's, camera, chargers, cell phones and a small feather pillow. Comfortable sleep is a priority. Just a few "good luck" charms of polished rock and rose quartz crystal, along with Aura Soma Serapis Bey. We heal through our senses and this elixor bestows our sense of smell of earth's and angels gift to our inner passages.

As the economy in the US reveals the imaginary and decrepit value in which we have placed our trust , we experience moments of wary upon leaving our home soil. What if during our time away this “sucker” goes down. We could be stranded. Our assets could be frozen. Who knows what and on and on.

If things are about to get really rough here, I want two strong legs to walk on. This is one way to achieve that miracle. Ruth is smart, savvy and a true lover of adventure and travel. So we’re going, but of course. In every life there are times when one casts their fate to the winds, surely this is one for me.

Moe, our honorable medical tourist guide, arranged for us to stay at a 5 star resort in Goa. It was horribly expensive, especially by India standards, $700 for four nights including all meals. The Rough guide to Southern India tells us that $10 a night will buy one a sufficient room near the beach. We also want to search out our own special places and meals. His featured resort would totally insulate us from any participation in real travel. So we’re on our own for finding accommodations. Our e-mails have turned up a response from a small inn near the beach, Heaven Goa. They have our reservation.
