Not sure how to start...

So the trips are officially booked, although I'm waiting for flights to be booked and confirmed. My tentative itinerary is as follows:

• July 14: fly into in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania for two weeks of working in a school
• July 30: fly into in Delhi, India for a week of orientation, touristy stuff, and Hindi langauge classes (really concerned about the heat)
• August 10: arrive (by bus??) in Palampur/Dharamsala (still not sure what the difference is), India for three weeks of teaching English (during monsoon season).
• September 1: arrive in Auckland, New Zealand to see my sister and the rest of my family
• September 17: back in the 'burgh finally with Bill to get started with my "real life" - excited for the Bill part - less excited about the real life part.

If you're curious and want to check out the organization that's helping me out with my volunteering and travels, it's a New Zealand based company called International Volunteer HQ. Here's the link: http://www.volunteerhq.org/
