I'm starting to flesh out my trip to the USA and Canada. The big undecided question is whether to go to an amazing sounding course at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. Called 'Creating Collaborative Solutions: Innovations in Governance' it's as if it has been named for my fellowship and I can hear its siren call. And that all depends on whether I can bring myself to spend the £4000 for a week of intensive tuition and full-board.
So, if I don't go to Harvard, I'm planning to go to (at least) Washington, New York and Ottawa between 4 October and 26 October. Then come back to the UK to see my gorgeous children and relieve my (equally gorgeous) husband for a couple of weeks. Then I'll return, this time to New Mexico and California, between 14 November and 3 December.
India beckons too. Hopefully next February.
The Winston Churchill Memorial Trust are making all this travel possible. If you're tempted to apply for a fellowship for 2011-12, the deadline's not til September. Check out their website.

My itinerary has evolved since this post. I've decided against attending the Harvard course as I can't afford it... and the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust have offered me an even more exciting opportunity next year, going to India with the Leaders Quest Foundation to explore my fellowship theme there. So now I'm going to head out to Washington around 11 October, and go to New York, Connecticut, Ottawa, Toronto, then down to Denver and Santa Fe. I may head back to Washington for the 17-19 November, but this last piece is to be finalised.
