Seven BTAs have signed on for the upcoming immersion program, slated to begin work in India on September 23rd. There's a pair from Philadelphia, a pair from Atlanta, another pair from the Houston office and a single brave soul from Cleveland. Three of us are beginning our second year with Deloitte. Four are "first years." Even in such a large corporation, it really can be a small world after all. Everyone knows at least one or two team members. Our paths have crossed during training in Dallas or Minneapolis. And one very valuable member is originally from India. What luck!!!
Direct travel to Hyderabad from the east coast takes at least 22 hours. (Guess who won't be coming home for the weekend? Sorry, Mom.) We've been encouraged to leave early and plan a short stop on the way over. After a little on-line collaboration, it looks like most roads will lead to LONDON first - maybe my absolute favorite city in the whole world. Champions League fixture Chelsea v. Basel is on the agenda for Wednesday. There's the London Eye and the Crown Jewels, Waterstone's and Harrods. West End for the theatre anyone?
