The itinerant speaker's itinerary

I'm finally underway for my round-the-world trip, and as I said in my last entry, I'm available for speaking on NetBeans RCP, IVR Speech Recognition, and other topics en route.

If you're interested in tracking my progress, regular updates will be in my personal blog.

I'm just posting now because I recently procured the tickets for the first half of my journey. My dates are not set yet, but the cities are. My general itinerary starts with a flight to Buenos Aires on March 12th. I'll be in Argentina and Chile for 5 weeks. Then, it's on to Athens and Crete. From Greece, I'll be going to Italy, Croatia, France, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, the UK, Ireland, Belgium, Amsterdam, Germany, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, The Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Botswana, South Africa, and India (Mumbai, Rajasthan, and Delhi). From there, the itinerary is not set, but it is likely to include Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia. Beyond that, we've not decided.

We're looking to meet people who want to show us a bit of their home country, and maybe put us up on their couches as payment for an appearance at your local JUG or company forum :)

A few folks commented on my last post (specifically from South Africa and Italy). I'm sorry I didn't include better contact info in my last post. Blog comments leave me no way to get in touch with you, so I'll try this again: rich (dot) unger (at) gmail.

• How is your spanish? ;-)
  I live in Bariloche, a small city in Patagonia, Argentina.
  Are you planning to come down here?

• Well, I'm on CD 3 of 8 in my "introduction to spanish" set, so probably not as good as your english :)
  In fact, Patagonia is our first international stop. We're flying from New York to Buenos Aires on March 12, and heading south from there.

• If you didn't already know better, I could tell you what an exotic location St. Louis is. Well, you can get Thai, Japanese, Ethiopian, Lebanese fondue and tapas on the Delmar Loop. And you may find it hard to believe, but we actually do have a couple of respectable Mexican restaurants.

• I meant to also add that I am jealous of your adventure, but wish you good luck and safe travels.

• Hey Tom. I'm pretty sure I've eaten at all those restaurants :)
  I'll be in St. Louis this weekend, actually. The main purpose will be to meet Lance's new baby, of course. I'm crashing with Casey.

• I'm so grateful for all that you've done. Thanks again for that nice essay and I would be most grateful if you would send me the latter ones....
