Finally here!   Only took us 18 months and 15 hour flight but finally we are here.  India has been on my bucket list forever …Who doesn’t want to see the Taj Mahal.?

India is everything you expect and nothing you can imagine ………. it’s so big, so much, so involved.   Planning (thank you Lori for doing the deep dive and orchestrating everything !) is complicated. And Lori did it all …..getting to airport back and forth after a 15 hour flight, visas, direct flights, shots – oh yes remember you are going to the third world so things that do not exist in the States are an issue here.  Polio is making a resurgence…Hepatitis, typhoid all that .

And the of course the simple stuff like packing, compression socks (don’t ask but you gotta have them), headscarfs at the temples,  and so much more.
