Laden (eh, not ah)
Whew. I think I've got everything done but get $$$ and pack now. Just bought ungodly quantities of hard candy for Miss Kristen who will be meeting me at Chennai airport with a car on Monday. And picked up the requested manga for Justin's (India Justin's) artist friend in addition to the English Ghost in the Shell Justin (Takatsuki Justin) generously donated to the cause in the name of art. I'll probably end up reading that one on the plane.
And a couple of bottles of wine. I think Kristen will like it, but I can't quite remember her taste in wine at the moment. Justin will probably scoff. It's fun being scoffed at by a guy who looks like Grizzly Adams, doesn't wear underwear and has holes in his aloha shirt. I wonder if we can hold out for a couple of days till Al gets there though. K & J tell me it's hard for them to get wine.
My only regret is I didn't pick up any Engrish t-shirts for them. But then, they don't want to load up on *stuff* any more than I do since they'll be back stateside soon. So consumables are good, assuming I can take them into the country. Now I have to pack light because there won't be any room left in the bag. I think I'll just buy clothes there.
