And then I booked a trip to India
Here's the description from the website (www.intrepidtravel.com)
Days 1-2 Delhi
The exciting capital of India is awash with sights. Head to the crowded bazaars of Old Delhi and see the Jama Masjid, the city's oldest and largest mosque.
Day 3 Agra
Constructed from marble and inlaid with jade, crystal and sapphire, the Taj Mahal must be seen to be believed.
Day 4 Fatehpur Sikri/Bharatpur
Wander through the deserted palaces of Fatehpur Sikri. For a change of pace take a rickshaw through the Keoladeo Bird Sanctuary.
Day 5 Rural Rajasthan Heritage Stay
In the middle of rural Rajasthan we stay in a former fort, now a beautiful hotel. Meet the villagers and see local craftspeople at work.
Days 6-7 Jaipur
Visit the beautiful Amber Palace en route to Jaipur, Rajasthan's famous Pink City. There is also time to see that other cultural icon, the Bollywood film!
Day 8 Ranthambhore National Park
A safari into Ranthambhore National Park reveals deer, monkeys, lakes and palace ruins. You may even catch a glimpse of the resident Bengal tigers.
Day 9 Bundi
High above the rural town of Bundi sits an ancient palace adorned in murals. Explore the palace and experience life in one of the most remote areas of Rajasthan.
Days 10-11 Bijaipur
From one extreme to another: camp under the stars at the lakeside then spend the night in the luxurious Castle Bijaipur.
Days 12-14 Pushkar
With India's only temple dedicated to Brahma, the creator, lakeside Pushkar is a major destination for pilgrims and sadhus. Take a camel ride into the desert for a magical sunset among the dunes.
Day 15 Delhi
A fitting end to our Rajasthan adventure as we come full circle to Delhi.
In other news, Meron hates me because I booked a trip to India.

I'm still mad. May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits. May the bluebird of paradise find nesting grounds in your pubic hairs.
Don't forget to pick me up the BEST batik in the entire world to TRY to make up for visiting my favorite country before/without me.

Wow. So, you've told me how to sign up for this Teaching English thing right? India will be amazing! Have you got your innoculations? I would go just for the food, let alone the sights and the history! My friend Bill says books are so cheap there that he could've paid for a whole library if he could have shipped them back.

Yeah - going to see a doctor this week to find out what I'll need in the way of malaria pills etc.
It's going to be unbelievable!

Thank you Kat! I'm glad that SOMEONE understands that Virginia going to India again without me is totally wrong. She's a really crappy friend huh? (especially since she crowed about it over the phone)

He Meron and Kat,
I agree with you... she is a crappy friend.
I'm here in Korea with her, on the same program as her, with basically the same holidays as her, and she hasn't invited me along either!
Don't know why I consider her a friend.
Oh... Virginia... You read your comments? Sorry.
You know we love ya.
:)
