News of the Mumbai terrorist attacks made its way through our group yesterday evening, and for some, the proximity to such attacks is a little too close for comfort. A couple of students have changed their travel plans, and will now be flying home earlier, but for the majority of us, it comes as a reminder to be aware of our surroundings, and to take caution as we venture onto the streets of India. We are still in Bangalore, but will be heading to the airport on Saturday begin our travels throughout India. I am interested to see what sort of measures will be in place at the airport, but am not expecting too much out of the ordinary.
Should questions about our whereabouts come up over the next week and a half, here is my itinerary:
July 16 - Fly to Delhi
Stay at the Crown Plaza Okhla - Delhi
July 18 - Drive to Agra
Stay at Trident Hotel
July 19 - visit Taj Mahal
July 20 - Drive to Jaipur
Stay at Trident Hotel
July 22 - Fly to Goa via Mumbai
Stay at the Holiday Inn
July 24 - Fly to Bangalore
Stay at Chancery Pavilion
July 25 - Fly to LAX via Singapore and Tokyo
July 26 - Fly to Sacramento
Hope you all are doing well. We are very excited to leave Bangalore, and check out other parts of India!
