Blogging again...we will see.

So...I am going on another trip across the world and it has been suggested to me that I blog about it rather than pretend to send emails. I am not anticipating anyone following faithfully, but I am going to try to blog at least every other day.

So, in just a few short days, I will be traveling to India!


I have to be honest and tell you that going to India has never been in my top 5 or top 10 travel destinations. But, in my quest to travel to every country possible, when the opportunity came to travel to India, I just couldn't say no. (Sorry, New Zealand...I promise to still come see you!)

I also have two other reasons for going. One, my good friend asked me to go (little did I know in the beginning that this meant be her travel guide). Two, I cannot pass up the opportunity to see the Taj Mahal. I have also wanted to see a place where the cow is worshiped...and can paint.


I have many work friends that are from India so I have been warned multiple times about the higher priced items for tourists, the need to drink bottled water and the fact that I am going to India during monsoon season (at least I like a good rain storm right?).

So, I put it to you...any advice? What do I need to remember to pack? What do I need to bring back?
