India

Tom had the opportunity to go back to India for work, so we took this as an opportunity to extend his trip and make it into a vacation for us. We didn't want to miss the opportunity to go again partially on someone else's dime. We spent 18 days traveling through the northern part of the country frequently referred to as the Golden Triangle. Our itinerary as broken out as follows:

• 3 nights Delhi
• 2 nights Agra
• 1 night Ranthambore
• 1 night Bundi
• 2 nights Udaipur
• 1 night Ranakpur
• 2 nights Jodhpur
• 1 night Pushkar
• 2 nights Jaipur
• 1 night Delhi

Since Tom had left 2 weeks earlier for the work portion of his trip, I was flying solo. The Portland to Newark flight was smooth minus the cabbie needing directions to the airport, but my Newark to Delhi flight was delayed 5 hours. This made the 12 1/2 flight to Delhi seem extremely long. However, I made it in around 2:30 and Tom picked me up with our driver as planned.

I was so thankful to make it to the hotel, get a shower, and a good night's sleep.

Many pictures to come over the next few weeks as I wade through the 800 pictures we took, so keep checking back!
