Pre-trip organisation

With just over 2 weeks to go before flying out to India, I'm starting to feel like I've forgotten something. Have tickets, a visa (although I did have a phone call from the Indian High Commission here questioning the state of my passport - I accidentally sent it to a laundry in Ecuador last year and it looks seriously dodgy), will sort out some insurance this week, and will get some traveller's cheques after my next pay day. Am I forgetting something or am I just being paranoid?

you've forgotten clothes and toothpaste.

oh, yeah ...... but anything else more major than that?

That's the major stuff that you need, don't forget to make photocopies of all those documents, one for yourself and one for a relative or friend.

Also a waterproof passport holder should be on your list.

thanks ... think i'm more stressed than normal because i'm also moving out of my flat.... i figure india is only cheap for me (on NZ$ which are crap) if i'm not paying rent while i'm away. so i have the day off work tomorrow to move all my stuff into storage. i HATE moving.
