That's right - whatever happened to Tajikistan? Well, this time it's for real. We are packing up our stuff in Delhi, ready to haul ourselves and our 60kg of luggage (including camping gear, hiking boots, laptops, harddrives, baby bed...) into the big unknown.
Take off for Dubai at 4pm today. From there we'll have 5 hours (should be plenty, ummmm) to transfer to Sharjah, locate the mysterious Tajik Air office, hope that our tickets are actually booked and ready and hop on the plane to Dushanbe at 00:30am.
Pick-up and hotel in Dushanbe at this point still unconfirmed, but we are armed with phone numbers of a whole range of people (from the CEO of the Aga Khan Foundation to friends of friends of friends of people who we only know from skype and e-mails). We are hopeful.
Wish us luck, especially Iluka, who, after a bad tummy and a day of throwing up now has come down with a fever. Of course just in time for the big trip... all part of the process. (NB author does a great job in keeping calm and not letting this get to her. Maternal instinct says: nothing to worry about)
