Well, its official. I'm heading back overseas, this time to Chennai, India. I leave this Friday in the morning and I don't get there until Sunday morning. That's due to the 20+ hours of flight plus the +13:30 time difference. I'm going to be exhausted. I'm booked in coach, no chance for business class upgrade. I asked about it, but it would have been $4000.00 of my own money, and I couldn't stomach that. I guess Thomson didn't get to be a multi-billion dollar company by spending frivilously on its technology vendors.
I checked the 4 day forecasts and it looks like I should pack for temperatures of 70-90 degrees, but also be prepared for lots of rain. I'll be there halfway between the coolest and warmest months, which is the best time for travel from what I have heard.
I've got a meeting soon to debrief from the trip to Poland and help improve our international travel policies. I'm going to bring up a few things that I would have liked to have known or had for that trip. Hopefully I will be better prepared for this one.
My flight itinerary follows. Ciao.

Well you should be excited to be able to visit lots of countries and witness several civilizations and meet people outside your vision area .
As for the hours lost in the plane you can use it to set free your mind and just take a break from life which we all need sometime and figure out where you are , where you were and where are you heading ...
Well good luck and keep us informed about international airports cause dude from what i read our airport doesn't seem so bad at all ...
Peace , later
