Ready to fly

I have my plane tickets now, am very excited about this adventure.  I am turning 50 right before I leave, this feels a bit like a rite of passage or celebration of attainment of 5 decades.  The weather here is gloomy and chilly today, and it only exacerbates the urge to GO.  I am thinking about trying to get off the tourist trail a bit, both to get away from the crowds and to see the everyday lives of Indians. 

Hello

I am starting this blog to chronicle my trip to India, or what I hope is my trip to India. Got my visa in the mail today, just need to find some flights that don't break the bank, and preferably don't get into Delhi at midnight. I don't fancy finding a hotel room in the middle of the night. Wish I could go for a month or two, and go to a few different places, but 2 weeks will have to do for this time.
