Pre-Departure Statement


Hello friends.

I have resurrected this blog post for the purpose of documenting a three-month excursion to South Asia over summer 2008. This blog will still be used to refer to many things Redirection Records, but will also be a travel log during this time period. To friends and family stopping by for the first time: hello and welcome. I hope you continue to do so in the future.

Given the ready availability of internet cafes in cities and towns worldwide, it can be easier to reach out and touch those back home via the wonders of electronic communique rather than by traditional phone lines these days. And, more importantly, it is by far a cheaper method of communication, as most internet cafes charge only slight fees for thier services. As such, stay tuned to what's going on with me overseas by putting this web address into your favorites listing and checking back periodically to see what's been up. I hope to have time to chronicle much of my travel experiences, from jetlag to food poisoning and beyond.

For now, my departure date is June 12th. I will be flying out of NYC to London, with a short layover before my flight to New Delhi. On the ground in New Delhi, I will meet with AIIS program coordinators before taking the train down to Jaipur, in the state of Rajasthan. Please refer to the above map for any geographic clarification you might be in need of.
More soon. Stay tuned.
