Planning, organizing, and preparing

For a few months I have been busily planning my trip to India and Holland. Since I found that it was not only more "gezellig" to fly from Vancouver to Amsterdam and then to India, I also found that it was alot cheaper! My flights have been booked: I leave Vancouver on July 8th and arrive in Amsterdam the following day. After spending two weeks in Holland visiting family and friends I head out to New Delhi, India on July 22nd with my cousin, Petra, and a group of 4 young people from Holland (Piet, Marijke, Susanne, and Nathalie). For the first 1 1/2 - 2 weeks we plan to work in the Michael Job Centre, an orphanage for girls. Our last week in India will be spent visiting the Taj Ma Hal, trekking through the jungle, and other exciting adventures India has to offer. On August 12th we hope to return to Amsterdam where I will stay until August 18th and then fly back to beautiful British Columbia!

  1. Hey! Since I promised I would post something.. here it is:)..I am super jealous of you! This trip sounds like it took a lot of organizing, figuring things out, getting special equipment(visa) etc.., however, I am sure that It will be more than worth it:) I hope you enjoy yourself immensely and be careful! Very too bad that I will miss you when I come to BC, but I will be thinking about you and hope to see you in Ontario sometime! I'll hear from you soon and have a good trip:)
