I’m writing these lines in the plane to Madrid, going to attend the CS/HC First Madrid International Camp ’08. Today is—for so to speak—the first day in this new phase of my life: yesterday I notified my boss about my decision to just quit and go somewhere else. And it was a relief. Really.

— Step one —
the list
If you’re planning a year-long trip around the world, it is probably a good idea to sit for moment and try figuring out what you need for your trip—and what you don’t. I’m going to fill two lists: one for the stuff that I’ll need during the trip, and one for writing down stuff that I’ll be tempted to bring over, but probably can avoid.

the lists
O.K. I need a third list: the to-do list, for things like passport and such. I’ll call this one the Count-Down List.
This is what I have in it so far:
- Sandals
- Bank
- Insurance
- Car (stop)
- Health (start)
- Passport
- Foto (with and without beard)
- Visas
- Backpack
- Laptop (?)
- Blood exams
- Vaccinations
- Travel plan (at least a rough one)
- …
Phew! I feel like this is only the tip of the iceberg, but I’ll try to fill this one, first.
Any idea about stuff I should definitely do before leaving will be very appreciated.
QUANDO DECIDI DI PARTIRE???
It’s all very very exciting..good luck my friend! As I understood you are planning to go to India..Will you take a plane or hitch hike or train? I advise you check Air Arabia’s flights if you haven’t done so yet. They have reasonable flights to Asia as far as I learned from other world tourers..Good luck! Ciao Oya
