So I'm off on what I hope will be one of those "trips of a lifetime!" that involve old friends, new friends, great stories, and new insight. This blog is meant to be a way to avoid mass emails and let those that worry (parents) keep up to date on my (completely safe!) travels and experiences.

So--my itinerary:

May 11: Depart Dulles
May 12: Heathrow
May 13: Cape Town
May 21: Depart Cape Town
May 22: Heathrow
May 23: Bangalore!
June 13: Heathrow
June 13: Dulles!

(Pause to regroup)

June 20: Lima!
June 21: Cusco
June 23: Off to Macchu Picchu!
June 27: Lima
June 29: Home again!

So please join me, and feel free to send comments, good karma, and lifesaving tips!**
