Hello

Hello team.

My name is Roy Wise. I am from the Dunwoody Rotary Club in Atlanta, GA. I have been a Rotarian for 12 years. This is my first international Rotary trip. I have two close friends who are polio victims. Both had polio before the Salk vaccine, one three weeks before the vaccine. Both have lived active lives involved in the community and their church. One is in a wheelchair and the other has a facial muscle impairment.

I want to thank Elias Thomas for making arrangements. It is great that we will see the Taj Mahal.

I have started the arrangements. I had to rush order my passport since I lost mine. This is one more time I miss the good advice of my wife who died in January 2006. She would have known where to look for it. After two days of looking, I decided to pay the price. The US post office charges $190 for a rush job. I got 5 vaccinations and will get one more. Today I made a good haul at the Dollar Store. One dollar buys lots at the store. I have 150 trinkets for children. I found a good travel book on India, "Eyewitness Guides." I recommend it. I did not find the Lonely Planet guide helpful.

Thanks to Elias for helping with my questions today.

I hope we can exchange notes on packing questions in our blogs

Regards
Roy
