India - One More Sleep and Packing List

One more sleep!

I think I'm finished packing, but I know I'm finished with packing either way. Tomorrow it's just a short 9.5 hour flight to Frankfurt and a breezy additional 7.5 hour flight to Delhi.

For any fellow intrepid traveller's out there, I thought I'd share my packing list for India. Both Jill and I spoke to a number of people who either lived in or have backpacked through India before. I can't thank them enough for their help! It can be really tough trying to cram your life into a less than 25 pound bag for a month-long trip.
