Hi everyone,

This is really just a test message to see if I have got my group mail set up correctly from Hotmail.

I have got just about everthing on the itinerary organised now and have managed to get most of my stuff in my rucksack already! Just a few final items to put in. After all these weeks and months of planning I now actually have to go and do it!!

The first flight to India is on Thursday evening. The whole trip will take 123 days, so I get back at the end of May.

Cheers

Phil
