Where will I be next Tuesday?

This is the first post in 2 weeks when I was actually updating my blog even twice a day for a while. Yes, I’m not that much of a freak now. Things have been busy as I am trying to do many things with almost no access to the internets (yes they are plural).

A couple of weeks ago I went to Hyderabad and the best was getting to sleep on a very comfy bed (real mattresses are nice) and the worst was getting licked by a man when entering a monument. No I'm not kidding... it was his tongue on my shoulder.

These past two weeks have been insane at work because the internet in our office here has been down, up for two days during which the VPN in the US office was down (which means I could not connect or do any work) and then after getting the VPN fixed I was informed by the IT people that our wireless in the office here was completely down again (but this time it meant that they were not fixing it). Betsy is fighting with them to see if we can get set up but of course they won’t do it quickly. Everything has to take two weeks to get done. In the meantime I'm working from home (when the power cuts allow me to).

Why am I getting into so many details? Well.., these two weeks I've done a lot of thinking. And it has come to two options: 1. I stay and live the cultural experience while doing some traveling and prove that I can face the many many challenges I’ve faced while being here OR 2. I decide for my job and make a move where I have the infrastructure and stability I need to fulfill my responsibilities (which means not leaving Paul with the weight of them and sacrifice his sanity). If you guys know me you know I chose number two.

I will be leaving India as soon as possible… probably will make it to Venezuela within the next week (granted I get an appointment with the US embassy there). If not, I will be going somewhere in Europe. If these options fail, I have an appointment with the embassy in India at the end of August but then I’ll think about moving to a resort in the South while I wait. That’s it… I only have 3 continents to choose from (unless someone tells me they have someone in Australia that wants to help me).

I’ll update everyone soon once I know where I will be next Tuesday.
