9 days

i am currently on hold with my bank to set travel notifications so i wont be stranded in kolkata with no money. its crazy that this journey which seems like such a long time in the making is finally upon me and the departure date is rapidly approaching. there are so many little last minute things to do like calling banks and buying little last minute things. the part i am dreading the most is saying goodbye. as often as i travel, saying goodbye never gets any easier. it is hard to leave my small group girls as they start their senior year of high school. it is crazy to think that when i get back one of my friends will be a mother. life changes so much in four months. i look forward to investing in the people of kolkata over these next four months.
