I'll make this brief, as I'm catching a flight in a few short hours. So I've been silent lo these many months. Let it be known: there was good reason. Nay, reasons. Ain't much to write about when you're slaving away for the Man fifty-plus hours a week, and not much to do but slave thusly for the man when you're saving for a year-long jaunt through South Asia. D. and I have been hatching this plan for months now, reading and planning and stashing our rupees in the metaphorical mattress. Our tongues have been tied by dizzying foreign names, our imaginations stoked by pictures and dreams and stories and such. And now the day is upon us. Whoa. Wow. Whoosh. Bags packed eyes open facing east. We'll be landing in Bombay on Friday. One-way tickets and no reservations, nothing in stone. Moving fast and lightish, going where the day takes us. Along the way I'll be posting from the road, letting everyone know what we're getting into on the other side of the world.
So this blog is now a travel blog. About time. Too long too stagnant. Time for some fresh air and new ideas, and you'll notice the first at the top of the page. Until we return, welcome to Naked Baby Asian Mice. Many happy returns. Namaste.
