Our days leading up to India

So I must backtrack before continuing with present moment. Though I offered details of our departure and arrival I neglected to provide these details:
1. Prior to leading the 2 yoga retreats I anticipated coming early to India for personal retreat time to an area that I have been trying to get to for over 10 years (since I started studying Yoga): Kashmir and the Indus Valley area to experience the roots of Yogic History.
2. Those plans were foiled when the Kashmirians decided to begin fighting for independence and hijacking tourist vehicles. Pankaj (my Indian travel guru put a stop to those plans).
3. We then aborted those plans and decided to head straight to Leh and Laddakh to trek and explore the few remaining Tibetan communities left on the planet since Tibet no longer exists on the map as Evil China (the new axis of evil) decided to massacre Tibetans. We were flying into the highest airport on the planet at over 11,000 feet elevation! .
4. 5 days before our departure we get news that a bizarre cloud storm dumped more rain then ever in that area killing 200+, injuring 400+ and destroying the roads, runways etc.
5. I am beginning to wonder if I meant to go to India. Could that really be?? This is my spiritual land. Should I re-route and take retreat elsewhere?
6. Spontaneously I am also internally chanting and hearing Om Namah Shivaya. Every meditation comes back to that. Then I remember that last year I had Kedarnath treks all planned out to visit the 5 holy sites if Shiva.
7. Without even researching or doing my regular Pitta planning I email Pankaj and set the wheels in motion 3 days before departure to plan out the trek. I am so ill prepared in some ways. Or many ways.

And, so with his enthusiastic and prompt reply all is set for us to go. This is a good sign.
But the final sign that Lord Shiva was beckoning me was leaving from Gate 108 to board the flight to India. And at this moment I knew all would be taken care of.

More tomorrow .... So tired we drove 6 hours\200 KM if that is an indication of the dangerous road conditions, hair pin turns and all the ingredients of driving through the first layer of Himalayan mountains!
