Road Trip!!

Tomorrow first thing we leave on a road trip. We have a good friend who is getting married in Kerala, a state in south India. Our plan as of now is as follows:

Day 1 –
Drive to Bangalore, a major city about 10-11 hours driving time away from here.
Stay overnight in a hotel and get to bed at a decent hour.

Day 2 –
Drive the rest of the way to our destination, approximately another 7-8 hours driving time. Stay overnight at another hotel, arrange by our friend.

Day 3 –
Attend the wedding in the morning. I have a small part in the wedding. Reception in the afternoon, following the wedding. Stay in the same hotel overnight.

Day 4 –
I speak in the groom’s home church in the morning, and we leave right after church to return to Bangalore, about 7-8 hours driving time away. Stay in a hotel in Bangalore.

Day 5 –
We drive the remaining part of the return trip, arriving home sometime in the evening.

That is a five day trip, the better part of four of those days spent in the car. Leah is not fond of long car trips, but she is being a trooper and trying to make the best of it. This was the only way we could all afford to go, and since I have been away from them for so long already this year, we felt it was important to do this as a family.

So, off we go on another wild adventure. God, please let the car work perfectly the whole way with no breakdowns. And help us remember to enjoy the journey, not only the destination.
