This is my first in a series of blog posts on my trip to Pune, India. On Tuesday October 7th I decided that I needed to take a trip to visit my development team in India and as soon as possible. We discovered it was not more expensive to book a trip 3 days from now than 3 weeks away. So we booked the flight and 3 days later I was on a plane.
The entire trip (with a 4 hour layover in New York and travel time by car to Pune) was just over 30 hours. The trip went well and I even found my ride to Pune. That was the part I was most worried about. But my team in India had a nice apartment ready for me just accross the street from the office and that has been VERY convienient! The team here has taken very good care of me and has made it very easy. They have several “office boys” who basically wait on me hand and foot and get me anything I need (including making me breakfast and putting the jam on my toast!).
It was great meeting my team in person. It has been very productive so far. The team here even had a welcome get-together and gave me a nice arrangement of flowers.
I have had a great time so far. I am liking the food (mostly) and everyone is very friendly. Here are a few photos of my travels. They are kind of weak photos but I will get some better ones posted soon.
