Hi Everyone!
I 'm just about a week out from my five week trip to India. I leave one week from Thursday...I can hardly believe it! Seemed like it was high time to get this set-up and ready to go. I'm going to be writing about my experiences in India as much as possible. For those of you who don't know, I will be staying in people's homes in India, so every few days I will be with a new family in a new home. Thus, given that we'll be traveling around seeing new things, meeting new people and staying new places often, I don't know how much internet access I will have. But I will write as often as I can.
Here's my promise: When I write, I will write what I'm experiencing honestly...in other words, I'll be straight and revealing. I know my automatic impulse will be to write what is impressive or looks cultured. While I'm sure I'll be sharing stuff like that 😉 ...I will also share with you what shocks me, what is difficult for me, my judgements and embarrassments. You can count on me for that...and it is good for me to be that revealing!
Most of you know that this trip is a Rotary Foundation Group Study Exchange. I am going with four other people...really wonderful, bright and fun folks with diverse lives and professions. It is going to be quite a trip! We are leaving on December 29th. Rotary is doing a small send-off ceremony at the airport on the 29th. You are most definitely welcome at 6:00 pm at the British Airways checkpoint, British Airways, Terminal 4. There will be hugs, photos, presentations, goodbyes and such. Please come if you would like...the more the merrier!
I'm excited about sharing my trip with you! And I really look forward to your comments and notes through the blog while I'm away. I'm likely to be quite homesick after a few weeks, so any communication from you will be exciting for me...just please don't describe your long hot baths (I love them and they are non-existent in India) and we'll all be just fine! Happy holidays everyone!
