NB in India's Guestbook

Welcome home
Glad you're home safe and sound with all your bags. Have fun making all of your socks white again!! Now, get some sleep!

Lovely
I just love what you bought...the woodwork is gorgeous. Are the other pieces paintings?

Yummy!
Ha! They come in pairs! I would definately have tried them too...you always have to taste the local stuff, or, at least, I always do. I was the first person to order coy (ginea (?) pig) in Peru - everyone else was too leary. I had no problem, except being hungry not long afterwards...not much meat on those things! Looks like a great trip so far! Have fun!!

Panoramic view of the himalayas with Mt Everest
Hi, That is a fantastic picture. I am publishing an eBook & would like to use your picture on one of the pages. Please advise if this is possible & cost for one-time use. Regards, Tony Green.

Woot!
Glad to hear you're having a good trip. Not grabbed once in the Great Bazaar - that's kind of amazing. But were you offered apple tea?? And did you leave the white tissue and drink the water at the House of Mary?? I'll have to say Ephesus is pretty amazing - how much is left and how well preserved it is.

Agent
Thanks for your story, it was worth it I am sure. We are hoping to go to Rawanda in 2010 can you advise us which company you used, as we, like you are nervous sending money to an African bank.

Gorillas!
Sorry that the gorilla trek wasn't all that you'd hoped it would be. But the few photos here are good and I really like the video - you can even hear the rain splatting on the leaves. I guess the hit or miss with the passes is the price you have to pay in order for the gorillas to get to live as much of a "natural" life as possible. Seeing them in the natural habitat for even 10 minutes is much better than seeing them stuck in a zoo.

So Far, So Good
Glad to hear that you got hooked-up with a nice hotel room instead of the house w/critters. I'm sure you were relieved as well. You also have high-speed internet---nice!! Maybe you should buddy up with your co-worker/co-traveler--maybe she can get you in business class on the return trip:) Have fun exploring! Karyn

VERY COOL and abundant animal check off :) !!
Just amazing.... really pleased that you had this opportunity AND that you were able to see so many animals. The one thing that struck me was how one could really sit back and enjoy the beauty of these animals with the help of the guides and auto. The "tiger attack" photo made me laugh ..... but it was because before I could scroll down to the story.. I was wondering why you four were all looking like you were busting out laughing!!!! In case you get any ideas...PLLLEEASSSE do not bring home any monkeys... I dont care how cute those Vervet ones are and what tricks they can perform :) Another thing I learned (thanks Nancy for your comprehensive blogs) is that girraffe's have "grooming buddies" (oxpeckers)..... like sharks.... had NO idea!!! Great weekend Nancy and super photos-- thanks for sharing!!
