The best and worst thing about planning this trip was the time I had to prepare. I made the decision to travel about a month ago, so it has given me enough time to coordinate it all but not so much that I've planned every infinite detail. Having a baseline is essential but I'm going with the theory that more flexibility equals more fun. Time will tell. I've packed everything from bug repellent to blue putty (helps keep the power adapters from falling out of the sockets). I can probably buy 80% of this stuff in India but I'd rather spend time checking out the sights and sounds instead of buying sundries.
I'm leaving Oct 2nd (tomorrow) from Bangor ME connecting to JFK in NY and then to Frankfurt. There I will be taking a train to Nuremberg, staying overnight and then taking another train through Bavarian country to Munich where I will meet some friends and partake in some Oktoberfest activities but not the underwear tearing kind of activities (ask me more about a story I heard about a friend's experience).
I hope I will sleep well tonight, I'm anxious to get going! Stay tuned for more photos, and perhaps a few video blogs.
