This blog is for the few of you who have not yet heard enough about my reporting trip to Pakistan. I know there must be one or two left out there. Just kidding; I know I've not talked about much else for six months.
We depart from Boston at 8:20 a.m. Friday, June 13, on British Airways flight BA0238 and arrive at Heathrow at 7:40 p.m. Then we will depart from Heathrow British Airways flight BA0129 at 9:40 p.m. Friday and arrive in Islamabad at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, June 14.
Anyway, I intend to use this as a way of keeping everyone informed of my whereabouts and safety as I travel the country for almost a month. I'll try to take lots of pictures and give daily updates. But if I don't update, don't assume the worst; several places we'll visit won't have reliable Internet access. I'll try to give a heads up before we head there, but may not have a chance.
Once we get there and get local-numbered cell phones, we plan to register our trip itinerary with the U.S. State Department, which will notify us if a particular area is unsafe for travel, etc., and also try to keep track of our whereabouts and condition.
This will be the first time in Pakistan for both of us. Feel free to leave comments here as we go.
