Tim's Travel

Tim is in New Delhi, India at an URSI convention. On Sunday, he'll travel to Pune for a SKA conference. If you don't understand these acronyms - don't worry - I usually don't.

He would be posting regularly about his adventures in India if he had decent internet access, but he doesn't. Hopefully when he reaches Pune, he'll have more options to getting online.

Some notes on India:

Don't pack shorts for the trip. No one in India wears them. The convention is to stay modestly covered.

Despite the excellent insect repellent I packed for the trip, Tim says he hasn't seen any mosquitos.

Bring enough anti-diarrhea medicine with you for when you get traveler's revenge, and then when you get it again. (Tim hasn't gotten it "again" yet, that I know of.)

Hire a guide to show you around - best tourist sites, best food, best roads (if there are any - must be like New Mexico!).

As for Sammy, Karma and I -- well, nothing of much interest going on. I had to get the dogs re-microchipped since the US chip couldn't be read here. Any more chips and these little guys are going to be picking up the Aussie radio stations!

I went to Randwick to visit my friend, Michelle, yesterday. It took me an hour to get there and over two hours to get home. I got a little bit lost - but saw more of NSW. If you're not in too big of a hurry, getting lost can be kind of fun.

Cheers, Judi

Hope you all feel free to leave us comments - it's fun to get them.
