Guwahati

Looks like it's India this time, cool.  Going with Operation Smile from Jan 26 to Feb 6, doing cleft lips and palates, filling in for someone who dropped out at the last minute, or something.  Let's see, that's less than 2 weeks, gulp.  Guwahati is in Assam, which is a province in northeast India (away from the Pakistani border).  

Weather sounds very pleasant this time of year, currently 69 degrees, but lows are in the 50's, gonna need sweaters.  I am planning to take only carry on luggage, which may be a challenge since I will bring tons of camera gear and computer.  Who needs clothes anyway?

Trip coordinator for OpSmile is Brandon Ringler, who seems to be a great guy, sez peds intensivists are in short supply, so I should be okay for this trip.  It's going to take a lot of work to pull this off with such short notice.  Need visa and credentials post haste.
