Travels in Trindia: Off to India....for real this time!

Well I don't really know how I feel right now; it's tough to explain. I can't really tell if I'm excited or scared or homesick or what. I just know I have had some good experiences in SE Asia that I will never forget. Thailand has been so great. The Pinvises Family has been such a huge blessing to Steven and I. I remember the feeling I had when we first arrived in Thailand.....we had a 18 hour bus ride from Cambodia and I was exhausted. I smelled badly....what I like to call the "traveler's stank." We were lost in a country that I had never been to. We didn't have cell phones or anything. We were starving. Then I saw Ariel and her mother pull up in a car. What a relief. I won't forget that feeling. I just gave Ariel a big hug.....I probably smelled terribly lol. I had met her maybe twice before that....but I didn't care. I just gave her a big hug. That was a good feeling. They have been so hospitable to us both and have made Thailand so great. They are such a sweet family and I will miss them a lot. Here's a little picture....

This is what Alaina said..."It's a Chinese dragon behind us so I had to smile like a Chinese person."

Such a sweet family!

Now it's time to say bye to Steven. That will be pretty tough too. We have become even better friends. We have talked a lot about a lot of things...namely girls though :) Steven really needs to get a girlfriend lol He isn't just my friend, but he has been a lot more than that to me this last month. He was my last little bit of home. We spoke only Khmer with one another which was super fun, and made a lot of white people turn their heads :) We are off to the airport in one hour. I'm really off to India this time. I have a four hour flight to New Delhi then on Friday I fly down to Vizag. Hopefully everything goes smoothly!! Steven and I decided to take a couple finishing pictures for the trip......enjoy!
