So In just over a fortnight I shall be landing in Delhi. Madness. But I've told too many people, so there's no getting out of it. The roller coaster ride has begun, and I'm on it.
Route 66 is not my title. MisspellAny owns it. I was telling her how this trip was all about '66 to 66. 1966, and my first hitch hiking adventure through France. A naïve yoof. On the Road. And my journey from then...until now. I shall be having my 66th birthday in India... The Route, then, is the intervening years. MissP had wrapped it up.
Crucigrama came up with curriedfish. Perfect, I thought. So she owns that.
And SpanishScot persuaded me to buy the iPad, and has given me lessons on how to use it. But will she accept responsibility for everything that comes next? I doubt it. So before I get going on these posts, I'm sending a huge Gracias Amiga with a bouquet of lilies to Edinburgh.
PS A Passage Through India is entirely mine, though I now have a feeling someone's used it before - maybe as a book title...?

So, get on your way, make your way and live the adventure to the full. Live the dream!
But take a little time to tell us about it here so that we can walk and dream with you.
Well, blow me down with a feather! I drive Route 66 (A66) to my local emporia. From hereon in, when I drive it, I'll be wondering where you are and what you are doing. May the rain be warm, the breeze be soft and your road be kind to your feet! xxx
ReplyDeleteSounds amazing, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteMy owl should be waving you on your way - looks like it's having a sabbatical as well.
ReplyDeleteGreat, O. I'm callin it my gap 5 months.
ReplyDeleteMisspellAny speaking: Actually, I cannot take credit for the name Route 66. Only for suggesting it. It was obvious!
ReplyDeleteApparently a crisis is always occurring in Delhi, so ignore the News just before you set off. Also, don't say we did not tell you, ignore the man who offers to find you a taxi or a hotel.
ReplyDeleteDear FFyshie. Where will we be without the grumpy three-liner in the Caff? Sharing dahl an' chappattis with you in a roadside whine bar, that's where!
Wishing you the time of your life, with knobs on
ReplyDeleteMay the road rise to meet you
May the wind always be at your back
