Travel plans

So I have spent all my free time (and some of my non-free time) surfing the net for info on the most amazing trip I will be taking at the end of September. I'll be flying to Beijing and from there going to Tibet (my number one dream destination for as long as I can remember) and driving from Lhasa-the capital-to Kathmandu, Nepal. Spending a week in Nepal and then onward to India for two more weeks before flying home. I'M SO FREAKIN' EXCITED I CAN'T TAKE IT!!! This past year 2009 was an extremely difficult one for me and it's looking like 2010 is going to be wonderful! It's been a long time (almost 4 years) since I've gone anywhere that was so far off the beaten path and otherworldly. I loved Europe the multiple times I went, and I loved Costa Rica, but I need third world, adventure, and things to make me appreciate not only what I have back at home, but to see the good that really does exist in people who live in such impoverished conditions yet are among the most kind-hearted in the world. I'll be accompanied by one of my best friends Julia (who actually just got home from a month long yoga certification course in Goa, India) and possibly my friend Heather or friend Maggie. Hopefully all can come!
