Dec 4-5 TRAVEL DAY
We had an uneventful direct flight to Mumbai from Toronto, arriving 1 hour later than anticipated due to bad weather (a cyclone that came up from south India).
In related news, here’s our own personal luggage cyclone:

How did we end up in this mess? A quick refresher…

Chapter 4: Nepal
Picture Kathmandu, and all sorts of exotic images probably come to mind: majestic mountains, Buddhist temples, and ancient history. You’d be partly right, and you’d see them all eventually… once the smog clears.

Dec 7 Days 9-10 Delhi
The capital of India, and the seat of so much of India’s history. Yet, we still don’t really know the place at all. Suba’s last visit was when she was eight. Ed breezed through a couple of years ago, but never really got a feel for the place. […]

Nov 28-30. Day 1-ish – Travel
It was about 27 hours of travel… nearly 39 including the time change. We left a mild-winter, -1 degree Toronto on Friday, Nov 28, and arrived in humid, 27 degree Mumbai in the wee hours of Nov 30.
People talk about “time change” when travelling, but it’s really more like […]
