Sunday 1/7 9:00pm - We arrive in Delhi, and instead of staying in a hotel for the night, and catching a morning train to Kota, we had to rent a vehicle and drive through the night to make it to the conference in the morning. What would have been a 3 _ hour express-train ride, took 11 hours through the trafficked/pot-holed roads. We slept a bit on the drive, but we had no choice since we missed the train we reserved and the next train was booked solid.

Monday 1/8 11:00am - We arrive in Kota at 11:00am with enough time to grab some lunch, shower, and head to the conference to teach 5-sessions. Even though we were exhausted (an all-night drive through bumpy roads, and horns honking every 30-seconds allowed for little sleep), the presentations went well. We brought a video projector because Dr. Smith's presentations required one, and we thought I would be able to use the projector as well for my sessions. However, when we got there, we realized that we would be teaching at the same time, and what I thought would only be one time teaching, I found out I would present 10 times in all (twice to some groups, three times to other groups). Luckily, they had a video projector, so I was able to use the projector we brought to teach my sessions. We also lucked out, because we found this out at the airport before we left, and Shatrine brought her laptop to the airport for me to bring and use (thank you, SHATRINE!).
