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?

Actually the photographer probably thought that model was looking a bit fat and decided the elephants would make her look thinner…I am surprised elephants are not used more in fashion photography.

Suck it up Annie, I would give my Left Ball to go to India. Have you ever thought of the long term consequences of some of their country folk meeting you. It is a two way street.. True …hmmm…might have to dress accordingly…might not look this good either. Ann

 If one architect has his way, Mumbai is about to get a whole lot cooler – in every sense of the word. The Aquaria Grande project aims to build skyscrapers that have pools instead of regular balconies.
 Of course, the idea has not failed to generate mixed reactions, with some even describing the plans for the luxury building as an “architectural nightmare.”
 “Known as Aquaria Grande, the 37-storey skyscrapers were the result of a collaboration between Hong Kong-based architect James Law and Indian real estate company Wadhwa Group,” the British publication reports.
 “The complex would have 200 apartments, three levels of car parking, a gym and sauna,” adds the same report.
 Because a pool for each luxury apartment is never enough, each complex would also have a bigger pool that residents could use, together with plenty of green space on the roof (ideal for walks or even golf), as photos made available indicate.

Get over it Girl, you are going...Craig W said of all the places he has visited and he has wandered around in a few, India is the place he would live. I'm not talking about the bloody over crowded cities and the helter-skelter ,but the hinter lands and outback where men are men and Sheila's exfoliate by rubbing themselves against an elephant for Christ's sake.

What's one runny arse compared to another when travelling...it all happens.

Annie you may meet the maharajah of your dreams and unload the motel onto the relatives as part of your dowry.

Look on the bright side........June is paying and you get to see your boys in EXOTIC Surroundings.

Hmmm…. Speak for your own runny arse -Ann
