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?

I bought 6 packets of  baby wipes (non fragrance)Is that enough ? 80 in each-I thought maybe I should go back and get fragrance ones too?

I need to let you know that while India looks like everything is 3rd world they actually have really good shops for stuff like hand wipes, alcohol gel etc etc etc.  I strongly suggest you take a little as possible with you and buy there.  By the way I understand that you are taking Christmas presents too????  You will be sorry about carrying all this luggage.  Yes there are porters BUT there is nothing worse having to panic packing bags prior to catching trains and plane across the country.  When you get there we can go down to the local sari shop and buy 1/2 doz light cotton tops and tie up pants, sandals and adult nappies and your all good.  Don't need anything else!
