We're starting to pack today to take off tomorrow. I'll post a bit from Bangkok, but we will have limited internet access in India. Of course, I'll do a full report on our time in India.

A special thanks to everyone who has helped us with our planning for this trip!

Bon voyage Kathie!

See you in Bangkok soon.

Have a wonderful, safe trip! Looking forward to your report.

Woo hoo! I'll be verrry interested to see how this pans out. Best wishes to you both. I'm only sorry I'll miss you in BKK.
I'm off tomorrow too so, like you, I'll be in and out of contact. Just know I'm following along when I can.

Hope all three of you have a wonderful trip. Too bad you're not traveling together. I'd like to read that trip report.

I am really excited for you, Kathie, and crossing my fingers for good weather, good connections, and good health. Can't wait to read your reports!

Great destinations! I'm especially eager to hear about Kolkata.

Bon Voyage Kathie! Can't wait to read all the details. We leave about a week after you two but you know where we are headed,lol

Aloha!

Best wishes for your return to your beloved Bangkok and for thrilling onward travel to India. I look forward to reading about your adventures and to seeing Cheryl's photos (if that's not too cheeky an assumption). Bon voyage!

Bon Voyage! Darjeeling has been on my life list forever, so I'll be looking forward to hearing about it and seeing Cheryl's pics.

Enjoy! Also looking forward to Cheryl's photos.

Thanks to all of you for your good wishes. Believe me, Cheryl will be taking photos! She has a new camera and took a photography class this summer.

Sorry to be missing you in BKK too Kathie. We leave for Cambodia this Thursday!!!

Have a wonderful time Kathie. Looking forward to reading your reports

Wow - time to go already. I am really looking forward to hearing all the details your Indian adventure.

Cheryl is going to have a field day with her new camera...

Have an amazing time. We're considering a trip to India in December of 2011, so I'm anxious to hear all about your trip. Safe travels and enjoy all the yummy food!

Kathie, thanks for the update. Good luck with packing thsi evening,(the only bad thing about traveling, IMHO).

Have a most amazing time!!! Looking forward to hearing 'bout it all--the great, the good, the so-so. Hoping to follow in your footsteps in a year, so am selfishly eager to read of your travels. Mostly, thrilled for you two, that this wonderful trip, so long in planning, coming to fruition at last!

I just re-saw "Gone With The Wind" Vivien Leigh was born in Darjeeling.

safe and happy travels, kathie and cheryl. planning on india in 2012, so looking forward to your reports.

Have an amazing & safe trip!!! How exciting! We have always (3 times) arrived in Calcutta in the wee small hours of the morning. As you drive from the airport & get closer to the city you will see so much even at that hour that will cement for you that you are in India. If you do arrive at this time make sure you look out the window of your car & into the darkness.....look for the glowing embers of a candle or fire in a road side shack, look for the people still on the streets. Take in the quiet existance of India at that time of the night & then the next day when it is all going at full steam remember the night.
Have a wonderful trip.

Have a wonderful time!!! We'll be in India at the same time, I think, sorry we won't be in the same places. Give my love to Darjeeling.
