6 days till takeoff

well i just found out that my travel partner, who's already in india, is sicker than she has ever been in her life and might not be able to meet up with me. i knew that india would be an unpredictable trip full of unforeseen frustrations, but i think it's starting a little early! as luck would have it, i'm going to be able to meet up with my friend dango from nantucket. it'll be grand, parasites and all.
