Finally: Preparing for the Trip

While I attended class for 6 weeks, I have never quite felt like I was "ready" for this trip to India. Too many other things going on, I guess. So last night I had a dream that we were leaving - like literally it was time to go board the bus - and I wasn't done packing. In fact, I hadn't even done laundry and I didn't have enough clean clothes to take.

So today I have a little time to myself, and I've started quite an extensive packing list. I've got almost a full page of items to take, and I'm just now getting around to listing the clothing items. I also spent some time sorting and organizing my class folder, and listing the thing I still need to read, research, or prepare before we go.

I may still be not quite ready, but at least now I'm on track!

Headed to India!

Wow - it has been nearly a year since we've posted to this blog. Sorry it has been so long, but that's only because we haven't been doing any international travel. That's about to change. In 11 days I will be traveling to Delhi and Bangalore, India with 4 colleagues and 27 students as part of the Kelley School's Business in a Flat World class. Check out the link for more information about the class.

On our first full day in India, we will visit the Taj Mahal, so I'm posting a picture of the Taj which I found through Google. Image is not mine.

I do plan to blog from India, so we'll see how that works out! I'll try to post some links before I go, but I still got lots of preparation and packing to do!
