And then we were 40.....

My best friend and I embarked on THAT trip in January 2011....The trip I am referring to is the one we always think about, but never have the courage/money/time/friend to do it with? So all of a sudden, all the elements came together: We were turning 40 and were on our way to India! Then I got really scared....

It always sounded so virtuous and spiritual to say that one is planning a trip to an Ashram in India. It is a very different story to have it looming over you as you scramble to buy the last filtration bottle/vitamin B (and other) injections/GO-Girl (let me not get started on this pink beauty!) and your dearest start sending you links of blond abductions in over-populated foreign countries etc. etc.

An astrologer belatedly told me last month that I will (or maybe already did!) undertake a trip of a life time with a friend (who could also be my sister!) and it will not be my normal comfortable 6* outing with my beloved....it will be HARD but it will change my life! Thanks for telling me AFTER the fact ;)

And so the day arrived on the 1st of January 2011. They say pictures say a 1000 words. It took me 4 months to find the words... It will certainly take a few posts to get it out of my system, so please bear with me as I unravel ungracefully.
