We finally talked to the move coordinator last night. She is in Shanghai, China - so we are working with a 12 hour time difference. As I was expecting, we got our first curve-ball. A major gut-wrenching curve-ball. Our shipping allowance was changed between the initial contract and the one Scott signed. It's just over 1/3 of what I was planning on. Needless to say this has me scrambling to figure out how in the world I'm going to do this. Scott found out this morning that we can appeal this amount and we are going to try to exclude the baby supplies and homeschooling supplies from this amount.
We discussed the rest of the contract and we will hopefully be setting a date as soon as the visa's come back (in about 10-14 days). So it looks like mid -late October is when the kids and I are going. Scott is going to try to do a combined house-hunting/work trip the beginning of October.
I'll post more as we know it.

Hi Guys welcome to Pune. The Hopfs; Norbert, Deepika, Jai and Param hope you will enjoy the city. It will take you guys some time to fully adapt to India, it has its own ways believe me. but Pune is one of the easier cities for us Americans to fit into, especially the eastern part of pune called the Camp area. This area where the british usually stayed preindependence, has several english medium schools, so most of the local indians understand a little english at least, and many store signs and such in English. Anyways I (Norbert) am an american originally from Indiana USA who has moved to Pune with my Indian wife deepika and our two sons. You can reach us at makeuthink@yahoo.com if you are interested in meeting or talking with us.
