I was very fortunately selected by Rotary International to go on an all expense paid trip to India for one month. I was going as a part of a cultural exchange program called, Group Study Exchange. I went with a group of 4 other people who all live in East Texas. This trip would be focused on the southern state of Tamil Nadu. Once there, every few days I will be rotated between homes of Indian families that are part of the Rotary Club. I had no idea what to expect but I was extremely excited about this adventure that I would learn from it.
I started 2010 perfectly, heading out on a brand new adventure I know I’ll never forget. After a long flight from Chicago, we arrived in New Delhi, it was very dark and foggy. We went immediately from the airport to the hotel to sleep a few hours before we had to get up very early and go back to the airport and head off to Chennai.
We flew on King Fisher airlines from New Delhi to Chennai
