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?

What the hell is this? 1) ayuervdea parlour
I noticed the Mermaid Hotel in Kochi (refer; places we will stay 2 Kerala)has  an Ayurvedic parlour . Ayurvedic massage helps to improve the energy flow throughout the channels and helps flush out toxins that accumulate during day to day activities, which wear away at us both physically and mentally.This massage helps to improve the lymphatic and circulatory system thus improving our immune system. Your therapist will use medicated oil and specific strokes relevant to your body’s constitution and present imbalances, which aid in the systematic elimination of toxins.
