2 Weeks: Baggage Challenge

1/7/2016

Now in considering what to take on the journey, I am starting to value the idea of renouncing all possessions. Take nothing. Buy what I need there (of course that's not the sanyasi way either). Even so Dad and I just returned from buying gifts. It is our custome to give something to those we meet along the way.

We were given a handy scale to determine the weight of the possessions we plan to take. Oh what judgement! The challenge is to have our check-in bag be no more than 15 kg, which is the limit for most domestic flights within India. My big suitcase is 5 kg empty! So already some changes need to be made. Along with miscellaneous assundry I'm up to 11 kg.

I will be traveling and visiting India, with my Father. Our primary destination in India is Ranchi, Jharkhand. We will also visit other towns and cities in that north-eastern region as well as other places in India.

Ranchi is the first place where our ancestors lived. When they went to India. They had been there from 1868 - 1915. They were the first generation that we know of that connected us to India. This visit will connect us with the Christians who live there who are the beneficiaries of that early missionary work.

My father and I will be joined by others,including my father's cousin, Wolfram Peetz. He is looking forward to see Purulia where his mother was born.

I am still seeking funding to help with some of the costs related to research. The research is for a historical novel I am writing based on the lives of these anscestors.
