One week from departure, hello everyone

Welcome blog readers. We are just one week away from leaving and everything is falling in place. Our visas just arrived from San Fransisco, items are being crossed off packing lists, and our blog is now up and running.  We are assuming that we will have sufficient internet access to upload pictures, videos and text updates during our month in India.

Our preliminary itinerary has us in five cities. We start in Nagpur then head to Amravati, Akola, Jalgaon and finally Nashik. The GSE portion of the trip ends in Nashik after which some of us will head to Mumbai and others will head north to Agra (Taj Mahal) and Dehli before returning home.

More information on the trip can be found here...

This link will provide background on the team members...

Our next post will likely be after arriving in Nagpur. Have patience as it will take over 48 hours to get there including three flights, a 13 hour train ride and several layovers. The adventure begins Saturday, December 18th.

    I met him a few months ago when the guys came to one of our meetings at the Redmond Rousers. Looking forward to all the good stuff to come ahead of them. I see from their itinerary, they are doing their convention on our christmas day, 25th. That will be fun to see what their day is like.
