A week from today I will celebrate my 60th birthday—in my favorite hotel in the world, in one of my favorite countries. I’ll give you a hint: it is the largest English speaking nation and the world’s largest democracy. Need another hint? This country is home to the oldest university in the world; and the last clue—this hotel has been rated #1 in the world by the readers of Travel + Leisure for the past two years .

Wow! You are a true travel afficionado because I heard you say, ”Udaivilas in Udaipur, India” and you are right!

Michael and I will soon leave for a two week journey to India including stops in Delhi, Udaipur, Agra, Jodphur, Mombai, and Shimla in the Himalayas. I will try to blog as often as possible so you can take a “virtual” journey to this amazing, colorful, spiritual, and culturally diverse country.

Namaste!
