3 Days

I leave for Kolkata, India on Friday, about noon time.

Am I nervous? Not really. I will be a little anxious until I get on the plane... just about getting where I need to be, when I need to be there.

My itinerary is... as you might expect, L O N G ...



Depart St. Louis at 12:30 pm
Arrive in Chicago at 1:37 pm

Check in with British Airways and wait...
Depart Chicago at 8:15 pm
Arrive in London, UK at 10:00 am Saturday

wait...



Depart London at 3:00 pm

Arrive in Kolkata, UK at 5:10 am Sunday

Why?

Every intelligent design has purpose, right?

I will be going on an adventure soon... My company has decided to begin to use off-shore resources for some of its software development. To facilitate this I will be traveling to Kolkata, India to train/orient the off-shore team on our software solutions. My purpose for this blog is to share my perceptions of India with my family, my friends and my peers... while I experience it.

Of course my purpose may fail and this blog may turn out like every other blog... a bunch of narcissistic dribble. Narcissistic because no one will really care what I write except me and dribble because it reminds me of what my late father-in-law would do when on the phone with my dear wife... dribble on, and on and never say anything of any consequence.

In the end, I hope this blog will have meaning and purpose for its readers but if it ends up as random dribble I hope you still enjoy it.
