The Plan Begins

T minus 4 weeks until I leave for India. I snuggle into bed every night with my Lonely Planet and dreams of chai tea and heavenly scenery. I'm so giddy I can barely sleep. For the first time in a long while I'm able to enjoy NY, knowing I won't be here for much longer. I'm eating at all of the restaurants I've been meaning to try out for the past ten years. Blue Ribbon sushi is next on the list. I shrug off every unpleasant subway moment. I don't sweat the small stuff anymore. This is what it's like to change your life course. It's a good feeling.
