These posts are coming fast and furious. Good WiFi and a bit of downtime allows us to catch up a bit. Sorry for the on slot. On the mountainous drive to Udaipur, we stopped at a Jain Temple. Now these people take things to the extreme. They will not wear hard shoes because they may…

We arrived in Rathambore at about 5pm. They had Mango drinks waiting for us while we got checked in. Every 2 rooms are a little cottage all their own; this is a very cute place. The staff is very attentive and polite. I tell you what….American hotel customer service can take a lesson from these…

Jodhpur looks pretty much like every other Indian city. There are really nice places next door to slums and filth. Our hotel was closer to shops and restaurants than the last couple so we went out to local restaurants rather than eat at the hotel. For lunch we got a Thali, which is kind of…

On our trip to Jaipur, we stopped at the Chand Baori step well. You may recall that we visited a step well in Delhi. This could not have been more different. The one in Delhi was cool but this was astounding. This was in a little village in Rajastan called Abhaneri.  The first 10 days…

When planning this trip, I was a little freaked out about traveling India on our own. So we booked a 15 day tour with Gate 1 Travel about in the middle. This was our safety net and our time to relax a little with all the planning and figuring things out on our own (that…

When I went back to pick up my tailor made outfit, it fit perfectly. Don’t know where I am ever going to wear it, except maybe around the house, but I love it. I have never had anything tailor made for me and the whole outfit with pants, top, and matching scarf was about $45….

The sleeper car train was a trip. 4 bunks in our cabin. They give you pillows and blankets (who knows the last time they were cleaned) and “rent” you sheets for 100 rupees which is about $1.50. The chai wallah comes by very often and each chai tastes a little different and costs different, either…

We are back in New Delhi and finally have some good WiFi, so we will be doing a bunch of posts in the next few days to try to catch up. In the mean time, the Phuket post has been updated. Enjoy, and thanks for following us Geezers!

The rumbling started after our last dinner in Bangkok. I ordered minced catfish and I think they forgot the fish part! Our flight to Phuket was uneventful and the taxi ride through Phukett City and Patong made us glad we did not choose either of those locations…way too busy. When we arrived at our lovely…

What a city!!! The modern stores and conveniences (like cell phones…oh, and the Thai are as bad as the US as far as everybody everywhere is always looking at their damn phones!) live side-by-side with decaying infrastructure, massive traffic congestion, and Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Armani!! We arrived at about 2:30 pm on Thursday, Sept…
