Should I start packing?

My proposal got approved (yay!) by my school, so it looks like at least they are on board with my project and going to Nepal. Now I just have to do what I wrote. I've been keeping up with the news in Nepal as much as I can. Google alerts makes it a lot easier when the BBC doesn't report much on Nepal. I don't want this blog to get bogged down in political musings and reporting of the situation in country... mostly because I don't want it to get shut down or me getting caught by whoever monitors these things. Let's just hope that the parties can get it together and get a functioning government in place.


As for packing, I have no idea where to start. A classmate who is also going to Nepal gave me some really good tips, so I guess I'll start there. I'm going home in a couple of weekends to get my winter stuff together and send a box ahead of me. I figure it'll get to Nepal by at least October if I send it now. :) Packing means, though, that I have to figure out all sorts of good to know information... like climate, what the dress is like at the office, and what exactly I'm going to be doing outside of work (like trekking, traveling, etc.).

Only 30-some days left until I leave... that's enough time, right? To get ready to go... and plan a wedding?
