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 forgot all about tea….
India is one of the largest tea producers in the world, though over 70% of the tea is consumed within India itself. A number of renowned teas, such as Darjeeling, also grow exclusively in India. Throughout Southern India tea houses are very common. Tea is boiled very hot with milk and sugar. When you order a cup of tea the tea maker (often men) will pour you out a cup in a long stream. This is done to not only cool the tea but also to give it a nice frothy texture. Chai from India is a spiced milk tea that has become increasingly popular throughout the world. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuiA3sCkrn0
