1 hour before I purchased a flight ticket for my son Harry to come home, from America,

for Christmas 2012 in New Zealand, my very generous mother,

decided the entire family are going with her on her last overseas trip abroad.

Brother Craig chose India; his "spiritual home".

There is no place I want to go to less,

but if I want to see my sons Luke and Harry at Christmas,

I have to go.

This blog will tell the tale ...from start to finish.

Will I love India or hate it?

Now when I get an email saying ‘ check this out!!!!!!!’  it is usually from Harry or Luke and features a world record vomit ,or someone throwing themselves off a building 4000m high, or someone being tattooed somewhere like the back side of their tongue. So if I even bother going there it is a miracle. Ann. Check out 23:32  for the bull surfing, but the whole vid is really watchable..that might have a bit to do with them being fecking gorgush
