Itinerary for the next year or so
Posted by Adam Jadhav | Filed under united states
My itinerary is still a bit up in the air. I’m trying to be flexible on purpose, but here’s the basic rundown, if the dates as a little (or a lot) squishy.
- September 3. Fly Chicago to New York to Dubai to Nairobi. I’ll have a couple weeks in and around the Kenyan capital playing with Shannon, adjusting and touring/chatting/shooting in the slums of Kibera.
- Approximately September 20. Fly/overland to Dar es Salaam. I’ll be checking out on a number of conservation projects that will take me across the border into Tanzania and eventually the coastal city.
- Approximately October 1. Fly to Antananarivo. Madagascar sits at the top of my Places to Visit list (after I knocked off Cuba this spring) and I plan visits to plant science and conservation efforts as well as fun-time with lemurs, butterflies and maybe a titanium mine.
- Approximately October 11. Head back to Nairobi. Finish up leftovers; possibly head east to Mombasa for a few days or west to Kisumu. Also contemplating a trip up north near the border with Somalia.
- October 21. Fly to Bombay. Begin visits related to U.S. companies there; planning efforts re: Monsanto, Anheuser-Busch and others. Also planning an early trip to Delhi.
- November 27. Train to Palolem, a tiny beach village in India. R&R.
- December 5. Back to Pune for a family visit. Mom, Anna, Riley and Ravi are planning a stop.
- Approximately December 14. Begin winding trip to Port Blair in the Andamans for five year anniversary of crushing tsunami. Hoping for an ocean voyage and crazy good beach and journalism scenes.
- Approximately January 10. Return to Pune area to pick up on previous visits with U.S. companies.
- April 1. Fly to Bangkok to eat food. Possibly take a few days down to Phuket.
- April 9. Return to Bombay. Begin trek up to Sikkim.
- April 14. Volunteer teaching at small elementary school in Sikkim, a northern part of India sandwiched between Nepal and Bhutan.
- June 14. Head back south for monsoons in central India. Evaluate bank account and goals.

Posted by Adam Jadhav | Filed under united states
Do I look like someone who would instantly have the blog all together?
I’m in the process of turning this blog on. Cut me some slack.
I’m still working on tweaking the CSS; if anyone has suggestions about style, design, etc., I’d be glad to hear them.
