Road to Hyderabad Lesson 17: A Few Logistical Tips
Hello again AshokaTECH Readers!  I hope you've had as wonderful holiday season as we did here. 
Coming off of 2 weeks out of the office, I returned to work last Monday with a decidedly more "zen" attitude towards the big event we are hosting in India early next month. My fabu colleague K. did the same. K and her family went to Disney World, I went to Jersey and Wisconsin. You know, its almost the same thing.
So where are we?  its a month out from the event, what morsels of wisdom might I have to share today?

I'm taking it a bit easier this week, hanging out in Wisconsin with my folks for a few days before the home stretch on our way to Hyderabad for the Tech4Society event.
So the topic and content for today's post comes to us from my partner in crime, volunteer extraordinaire, Adrian Ash.
