For those actually following this blog, my sincerest apologies for falling off the face of the earth and not blogging for so long. My excuse, you ask?
I was in India. ...duh!
Based on my experiences there in the last 2 weeks of our alledged "vacation", that excuse should suffice. For those who don't buy it, you can read on as I retroactively recreate the not-so-great experiences we had of being cheated by our travel agency as we toured around India...

more to come- lucky for me some of my colleagues wrote about our joint experiences, so I'm going to read their blogs and select the ones that most accurately reflect my feelings on each occassion (and just point you to those!). I'm also working on getting pictures posted as those speak 1,000 words- or so 'they' say...
