Who would have thought this could happen to me?

I am going to India. In fact, I am sitting in Detroit's McNamara Terminal with about an hour to spare before I board my plane for Chennai.
My employer, Cengage/Gale, is sending me to meet our offshore vendors and oversee operations from the India offices. I will spend four days in the south at Photon in Chennai, two days sightseeing in Delhi, and round the trip out with two days at our QA offices in Noida, to the north.
I secreted the adventure into my life by believing that it would happen and acting as if it were a fait accompli. Yes, it is a business trip, but also a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to travel halfway round the world alone and experience a culture that is sure to feel both strange and familiar.
I'm on my way.
