Calling all family members!!! - (Hume Family) ***Mumbai 2011 - 2013

>> October 21, 2009

Mumbai 2011 - 2013 is depending on how you look at it, coming to a 200th birthday of the Hume Missions in Mumbai (lots of locals and others still know it as Bombay). We will be 'in service' in Mumbai planning for more family and friends to help the Hume Missions reconnect, reinvigorate, and build another two centuries and more of helpful, meaningful, inclusive and equitable justices and collaboration between all peoples. I was priveledged immensely to vist these diverse missions in 2007 and was swept up in the vivacity, complexity, and humanity that is Bombay! We want to use our blog, our service, and our connecting of cultures to encourage you to follow us virtually and to join us for a return in 2013 to support this big anniversary.

Other areas where we plan to meet on a mission of service and exchange include, Tokyo and Kobe Japan, Changsha and earthquake affected regions of China, Indonesia, North and West Africa (yet undetermined) and France. Would you please begin to think of our travels in contacts, dreams, ideas, or work relationships; and, when you have down-time send us any thoughts you have.

We are following the paths and footsteps of others before us as we venture out to the world as a new couple in a new partnership for new beginnings abroad. Thank you for all you are doing in keeping us in your hearts as we walk off jetways into these new encounters.

Planning the itinerary

>> October 20, 2009

It is very challenging to purchase tickets that include airports AND dates for 10 months from now. We haven't actually purchased tickets yet....but this is what our itinerary will probably look like:

nyc to toyko to shanghai to hongkong to bangkok to calcutta to bombay to delhi to addis ababa to accra to cairo....and railing from there up through turkey and europe to dublin and home.


Do you have recommendations or ideas or contacts or suggestions? Now is a great time to pass them our way. We are seeking volunteer and service service opportunities, as well as a chance to meet up with friends and family abroad. And we would happily welcome any "fun" or "honeymoon" related suggestions as well! :)

One month married!

>> October 8, 2009

Many thanks to all the fantastic and amazing folks who contributed to our wedding. It was the best. day. ever. honestly.


Now we are in the throes of organizing our lives here in New Orleans and Mississippi, planning our big honeymoon, oh....and enjoying married life a bit too. :)

Our biggest project right now is purchasing our around-the-world flight tickets. Airtreks seems to have the more comprehensive packages, but it is SO difficult to pick destinations and dates! Our current plan is to leave New Orleans during the first week of December, spend a week or so in Washington DC, and then head around the world from there.

check back soon to follow our progress.......
