Ah, the final hours before departure. Six more hours until we leave for the airport, eight and half until we're in the air. Still amidst packing our stuff, although supposedly Malati started packing about a month ago. Though we've been anticipating this trip since over a year, when we were originally scheduled to visit Vraja, right now I wouldn't mind having an hour or two of extra time at my hands... I suppose you can always sleep in the plane, then.

Interestingly, the little folks on our altar seem to need almost as much luggage as we do. And they don't even carry their own bags. With god on the road, it ain't as easy as it might sound. Godspeed. Fortunately Giridhari is a bit more accommodating, he seems to be warm and comfortable inside his own wooly hat.

It's freezing outside. It's been ten below zero lately, ten to twenty centimeters of snow. I can't imagine I'd be missing that much.

We will be arriving in Delhi on Wednesday 1.00 AM local time, leaving with a cab towards Vraja sometime closer to sunrise. I suppose I'll post in a note sometime during the day, though anything more elaborate will have to wait until Thursday.

In other news, the Gaudiya Grantha Mandira site engine will be updated sometime during the first quarter of 2004. Please read this topic for more information.
