Using this day to regroup, rest, and prepare for the 8:15 PM flight to Mumbai tonight. I finally got the “follow this blog by email” button up on the right hand column of this blog to make it easier for people to keep up with new posts. You’ll also notice buttons on the bottom of each post that allow you to send a post to a friend via email or post it to your facebook, stumbled upon, etc etc etc. None of this could be done from the iPad for some reason but I finally had time to locate a hotel computer and voila.

Before we go any further, we wanted to share our gratitude to all the many people back home and around the world who have supported Scott and me in this endeavor. Many of the people we met along the way have also contributed to our emotional well being in some way. I hope I don’t forget anybody but I’m going to give a particular shout out to some here:
