Just sending along another quick reminder that my new blog is up and running at www.johnmarshall.com If you traveled with me on our last trip, I promise to work hard and make this one worth your time as well. We'll be volunteering around India for six months, so it's sure to be unpredictable if nothing else. Hope you decide to come along. All the best, John

Hey Everyone. Well...after nearly four years, I'm heading off into the world and wanted to invite you all along for the ride. I'll be traveling and volunteering in India for six months and will be writing about it on another site. www.JohnMarshall.com If you'd like to follow along, please visit this site and sign up. Unlike the last family adventure, I will be taking this one by myself...so your company (and occasional comments) will be much appreciated. My first post is already up and I leave on Thursday February 8th on a 33 hour flight. After a brief stop in Delhi, I'll be hosted at an elephant sanctuary in Jaipur. If you remember Sweetie the Spider Monkey from our last adventure, I only hope the elephants treat me with much more care and affection. This site (halfayearaway.blogspot.com) will only be active for a brief time but I wanted to send you all, my fellow travelers, a personal invitation to the new blog. I loved corresponding with so many of you and look forward to another great adventure ahead. Jai Ho! John
