track our trek

shit!....we need visas for india! we knew this, but have been racing to catch up with ourselves so much, we forgot to check the procedure. turns out it takes at least 5 business days to process the application & we only had 2 left before our flight to dehli! so we headed straight to the consulate general of india in hopes of paying an exorbitant emergency fee to expedite the process...alas, we had no luck..."why didn't you get a visa in your country of residence?"...if we wait the week for the visas, we can't travel anywhere else in china, as we need our passports to fly & check into hotels. and we'd end up losing 1 of our 2 weeks in india, since we must meet ryan in bangkok on nov 1. (can't wait to see you, ryan!) ...so, time to regroup & come up w/ a plan b. after some tea and time to think, we realized we could change our india trip to anytime before christmas by changing our flight dates w/ oneworld free of charge. piece of cake! after a quick look thru lp for national holidays and festivals we might want to avoid, we rescheduled the india trip for end of november...we'll spend the next few weeks somewhere in southeast asia & scope out thailand a bit before ryan gets here...crisis averted...we'll have plenty of time to get the visas in bangkok.
