re: your list

tanks and shorts- probably just bring 1. you can't wear them in india anyway, and if you wanted to layer the tanks great, but it's also going to be wicked hot. :) and shorts are only ok for bed.

chacos- LOVE them!

pillow case- maybe not necessary- just extra stuff to pack. :) up to you.

water bottle- i never bring one. we'll be using liter-ish sized plastic bottles, and we have to buy it that way anyway. there will be a water cooler at bapatla and OM, but again, you can just re-use one of the plastic ones.

blow-up globes- GREAT idea!

including this one, i've had 4 conversations about packing today!

ok, i think that's all. :) good luck making it all fit.

Oh Grace, I can hardly believe it. WE ARE GOING TO INDIA!!!! So, we have to get those backpacks packed! Mine's not packed yet either, but tomorrow - it has to happen tomorrow.

I'll be praying for the first leg of your trip. Hope you have fun in Denver and I'll see you, after China, in Hyderabad. I'm sure you'll already have lots of stories.
