India - I'm booked!
I did it! I booked my trip to India. Can't believe it. I'm actually going!! I fly out from Baltimore on Dec. 1 - going on British Air with just one stop in London. Now I'll have a ton of questions.
What do I wear? Which shoes to take? Do I need an umbrella? (I think it's dry by then, so probably not.) I'll have many questions, I'm sure, but right now I'm just basking in the moment.
I did book a tour - with Intrepid the one I mentioned before. So... yay!

The first week of December is usually not rainy in the northern parts of the country so the umbrella is your choice. However you may experience showers in the south-western part of the country including Kerala.
Expect temperatures to reach about 5-8 degree Celsius in the northern parts though it has been getting warmer. Get atleast two pairs of warm sweaters and a jacket if possible.
Shoes - hmmm, if you're planning a formal visit to someplace get a pair of black shoes that go with everything. If you're more into just roaming around, a good pair of sports shoes (preferably running/jogging) would be good enough. If you're going with Intrepid and if I get their philosophy correctly, you'll be walking around a lot so I would highly suggest excellent shoes.

Bob - I'm going on my own - no travel roommate (which is why I decided to do a tour). I booked the single option with Intrepid so I'd have my own room. Even though I want the companionship for meals and such, I prefer some privacy.
And yes, I'm still basking! You'll see i just posted a question about passport renewal and obtaining a visa - yikes.
Galacus - yes, I think their travel philosophy will involve quite a bit of walking. It's a very grassroots kind of company. I can't wait! I believe you're given a lot of free time, so even though I'll be with a group, I think there's quite a bit of independence, which will be perfect for me.
