Time is passing quickly and lots of preparation still needs to be done.
All the relevant visas are applied for and I am awaiting my passport being returned from the visa company. Only one more travel vaccination remaining (Japanese Encephalitis) and then the courses are finished.
The next big decision is what to take? Clothing for both hot and cold weather. Something for the rainy as well as the sunny days.
I have also decided to buy the most comfortable travel mattress I can find. No good traveling all that way and being miserable due to lack of sleep.
I now need to concentrate on the practicalities of such things as practicing pitching my tent. I would like to get my tent up and down as quickly as possible. When the weather allows I’ll get into the garden to start practicing.
I have also made a start buying some sun cream and insect repellent!
A real nuisance at this time of year is the need to complete and file a Tax Return. I need to get this done quickly. I also need to complete a student loan application form for daughter number 2. All to be done before I leave in May!! Will it all get done?

Hi Martin (kalimera!)
Two of my colleagues are cycling round south India over 4 months and have a wonderful blog with lots of photos. They also listed what they took with them at the start, which I thought may be useful. Here it is (minus the bike bits):
Toiletries and Medical:
Speedo sports towel
Shampoo
tooth brush/paste
medicated talc powder
Suntan cream
Assos cream
Malaria tablets
Rehydration sachets - multi flavours
piles of anti-bac hand wipes and sanitizer spray
antibiotics
Clothing:
John:
Smartwool top
Business shirt
Long sleeve polyester top
Two pairs of trousers with removable legs
sandals
underwear
sunglasses
Buff
hat
cycling gloves
two pairs of socks
rain poncho (this is an experiment to see how it works in hot conditions). It worked!
Good luck!
Sue from Greek class
Thanks Sue
I'll try to make my list and leave it. (The list you have left has helped me!)
We'll miss you at Greek class next year.
Do come back!
Martin
