Soon on our way

---

The flights are booked, visas have arrived, cab ride to destination scheduled and guest housing procured.

Self directed wishes for safe travels and an amazing adventure with the two loves of my life, my kids, Malek and Sephina.

August 20th we'll be saying 'goodbye for now' and 'see you soon' with hopes to update this blog every few days as we share about our 70 day trip to Auroville, Bommayapalayam, Tamil Nadu, India (south of Chennai, just north of Pondicherry), on the South East coast. We will be 12.5 hours ahead PDT - so essentially half a day 😊



Detailed plan (for my mom 😉 ) as it is at present:

Fly out 5pm-ish 8/20 on Emerites direct to Dubai

Arrive in Dubai 7pm 8/21 (sleep in airport) fly to Chennai 2:45am, land at 8:20am 8/22. Catch a prearranged cab for a 3 hour ride to Auroville, arriving around noon.



Will be staying at Arka 08-22 - 09-05

Will be staying just south of the ridiculous gold structure (town center) for the first two weeks and to the far right of it near the coast for the rest. We plan to help build a school, volunteer in the schools, organic farms, gardens, pony farm and whatever fits as well as having an incredible amount of fun exploring and being together!
