Did anyone notice that the itinerary in the book is different from the itinerary on page 244 -- the hand written journal. The books has him going thru India and then Nepal and then home. But the journal shows he went India-Nepal-India-home. In my four year backpacking journey (1983-1987) I kept the same handwritten statistics about transportation, money spent, and where slept. So I kinda, sorta, obsessed over his hand written notes.

I totally agree! I wish that he had acknowledged that directly. He did say there was "Light editing for logistics etc" and the book probably read better with the highlight of Nepal rather than "we had an extra day in Delhi and didn't want any more city so went to a village" which is actually a more realistic way of how they felt after a long trip.
