It's crazy (Vamshi)

It's 3 hours to flight time. We have been planning this trip for 7 months but its only in the last 2 days its finally hit me! It's been in my nature to put things off to the last mintue and I have done it successfully yet again. I have been packing for the last 2 days and I'm still not prepared! The flight is not going to wait for me so I just have to declare I'm done and deal with whatever waits.

Yesterday, I was trying to imagine the long hike to figure out how much food I need to pack. I have never done a hike more than 2 days and the thought of 6 days, 19,000 feet numbed me for a while. For some reason I remembered all the friends who wished me and donated for the cause and I knew what would be pushing me up the mountain. Its a great feeling, I suddenly feel loved and comforted - something no amount of clothing or food will provide on this journey.

Next blog will be from JFK airport if I can.

Serenity, Vamshi, serenity - - what you bring to the golf course, what you bring to your relations with your many friends, you'll take to the mountain and you'll take to the children who are the focus of your efforts. Serenity will supplant urgency, because you've earned it and because you and your colleagues can only do what you can do. I daresay that there is a little bit of serenity in each of us who have been privileged to share in your journey and good works. Serenity, Vamshi; serenity Anoo. Good luck and good cheer!
