Dear Carrie, Hope
you’re
doing splendidly! I suppose you are, too, what with the camping holiday
you’re
mulling over for the summer. Oh, going through your mail, I was positively chuffed to learn about that particular bit! You couldn’t have thought of a better way to ginger up the summer!
You’re
going to love it, getting the city out of your lungs, taking in the pristine mountain air, getting out the camping grill, cooking out in the open, and treating your taste buds as your eyes feast upon the raw beauty that surrounds…it’s the best! So as I understand,
you’re
headed to the Himalayan lake of Chandratal. Capital choice! I guess my rant about the place’s magical vibe
finally
got to you! Having been there, I thought I’d clue you in about some
things
you may want to look out for. The road up there is treacherous, and
things
tend to get a bit dicey. You want to make sure you’ve got a good pair of hands commanding the wheel. Speaking of which, you might want to consider being on board an SUV to stay on top of
things
, quite literally too!
Also
,
things
tend to get rather chilly post-sundown; you may want to pack thick sleeping bags that keep you toasty.
Finally
, you asked if I’d like to come along. Well, you know, it’s hard to pass up on paradise, especially when a friend is headed up there! I’d love to! Let me see if I can get out of work around the time you plan to hit the road. It would be stellar to
finally
get to do
this
together! You’ll be hearing from me real soon! Thanks a ton for the invite; hoping to do
this
together! Your pal, Mohit
