Getting Ready for My India Adventure

I've received my India Visa and I've had my vaccinations (tetanus, hepatitis and typhoid) at the UW Travel Clinic. My medical kit includes malaria pills and anti-biotics. It was not required that I have these, but I want to stay healthy during my adventure and come back healthy as well. Now I am thinking about what I'm going to pack as well as get the house in order for my family to "survive" while I am gone. Stocking up on necessary groceries and putting ready to eat meals in the freezer. They can't go out to dinner every night!
