today, April 7th i headed off from "home" on the train. starting at Stanmore train station, catching the morning crush of commuters in to Central, then platform 23 to the International terminal.
With all those commuters, one of whom I'd been for the past 5 years, it felt kind of different. they were all off to the 9 to 5 and I was headed to the airport. the route was the same but i felt like I was going in a completely different direction to them
before that, breakfast at the local cafe up on enmore road. Julie gave me a big hug and some advice on being careful and trusting myself...then goodbye to Adam...
i got to the airport round 830, check in took about 30 mins with a decent size queue. My backpack weighed in at 13.9 kg, which I'm pretty happy about, means i'm now out travelling with less than 20kg on my back. I like minimalism, but this is a whole new level..., then out through customs where i met an Irish girl who'd overstayed her visa by 8 hours, I lent her my pen as the other ones weren't working, wished her luck...then saw her briefly after customs and she'd gotten through ok
now i'm off to buy a gift for Tharun, who's going to pick me up at Bangalore when I land

Hasta la vista Tim. Pick up as much knowledge of Ayurveda as you can, so I don't have to give your Robert Svoboda book back. Cheers Matey..David.
