The goddamn airline cancelled my flight back from India, and the flights back cost 4 times what I paid. So I just spent an hour on the phone and cancelled my 3 month long trip I've been looking forward to for months. We were supposed to leave the coming Wednesday. We were going to go to India, Sri Lanka and Nepal. Relax at the beach, take the most scenic train ride in the world, hike up to base camp, visit the sacred city of Varanasi, experience the complete mess and culture shock that India is supposed to be. It was going to be the best!!!

I spent 200$ on vaccines yesterday, read Shantaram, bought hiking boots and have a whole word document with the details of the trip. And now we're staying in fucking dumb Canada for the stupid winter. I'm so sad and pissed off.

I guess the upside is that we're last minute planners. So I didn't yet book any hotels or trains or tours, and didn't even apply for the visa. And we could always go to India next year. And probably we'll still go somewhere to escape the winter. Maybe Peru? Anyone has any recommendations of cheap cool places?

I'm gonna spend today being sad about my dream trip falling through, but tomorrow's a new day and I'll see if I can get exited about going someplace else!
