Update Schmupdate

So much for keeping an online update of my trip.  As much as I'd like to write about every aspect of the India trip that I am on, I just don't have the time (can't even keep my pen and paper journal up to date).

However, here is a quick up date.  It's all good.  All of it has been good.  From Udaipur, Pris and I went to Jaipur to see the Amba Fort (mistakenly named Amber Fort by the Brits) and other sights.  Then it was off to Agra for the ultimate in Indian sight seeing - the Taj Mahal.  It did not disappoint.  Then a quick stop in chaotic Delhi where we still managed to squeeze out little bits of magic like Humayun's Tomb in Delhi which as it turns out was the inspiration for the Taj.  

Next I struck out on my own and headed for Bangalore where I met up with my good friend Vinodh.  We immediately struck out on a road trip and headed off to Kabini Jungle Lodge for a couple of days of Indian Safari.  Next stop was Mysore for some great Palace sightseeing, had lunch in one of them, and then finally today we went to an amazing bird sanctuary for amazing photos.  

How's that for an update?  Where are the pics I hear you say.  They are coming along with a full blown report of everything there was to see, smell, touch, taste and experience in India.  Oh by the way, it isn't over yet.  Will be heading off to Fort Kochin and the Kerala backwaters before heading back home to the waiting arms of my beloved wife (who in reality is now stamping her feet waiting for me to come home for some serious scolding).  "Run off again will you eh?"
