Today is my last day in India. I'm leaving for the airport in a few hours. My flight leaves 11:30pm and arrives in Newark, NJ at 4:30 in the morning (accounting for the 10.5 hour time difference) after a 15 hour flight I hope to sleep through most of by drugging myself like crazy.
It has been an amazing trip. I saw everything I wanted to see that was possible in a 2 week span and more, I didn't get sick, I fulfilled my dream of meeting the Dalai Lama, and I can now say "I've seen the Taj Mahal." An English traveller once wrote, "There are two types of people in the world. People who've seen the Taj Mahal and people who haven't." I am now in the former category.
Amritsar was amazing and completely worth the long journey there and the long train ride back ot Delhi. Since I'm running out of time I won't go into it. When I get home I'll wrap up what I thought of the different cities, but time is ticking on my rented internet clock in my hotel. I just wanted to share some more pictures before I go. Thanks to everyone to who helped me prepare for the trip, and Ruth Asher at Protravel International deserves a shout-out.
Oh, and the title of this post is another reason I'm ready to leave India.

I'm glad you made it there (and hopefully back) in one piece. If you ever decide to go back, do let me know, it'd be cool to travel there with friends. :)
ReplyDeleteWell I'm glad you had a great time, but honestly I'll be glad when you're back in the same time zone! Talk with you soon!
