craig--the hotel was a bit odd but we enjoyed it there..

So, will there be a 3rd trip to India in the next 5-8 years? Love your pics. Still not sure India is on my radar screen yet.

Bet it feels good to be home. When do you head to FLA? I'm still not booked but hope to be in St Pete/Treasure Island around Feb 8-10 for about 5 days.

we leave here on the 28th of jan---driving..

we will be aboard a ship during your dates...

not sure a return trip to india is in the cards unless we decide to combine south india with a visit to sri lanka... right now i have begun planning 6 weeks in china and thailand for fall, 2012..

HERE ARE PICS OF THE DRIVE FROM UDAIPUR TO JODHPUR, INCL THE FABULOUS OLD JAIN TEMPLE

Bob and Karen--I am SO enjoying your photographs and your occasional hilarious subtext. The rug shop in the desert has some gorgeous rugs. Louise bought two large ones when she was there and they have turned into her favorite purchases from any travel destination.

Loving the journey!!

The fort in Jodphur is awesome - but as can be expected, there is a sameness to the Rajasthan architecture. Enjoyed the camel photos too.

i could not believe it when that camel spit his mouthful of chewed greenery at me and it landed all over my shirt....

the more i look at my pics the more pleased i am with them for a small point and shoot camera... the semi-dark pics seem to be mostly out of focus and that is probably my shaking and not allowing the camera to focus properly..

more pics tomorrow and the nepal pics after xmas when my daughter reworks the cd for me...

Here are the Jaisalmer pics:

Thanks for all the wonderful Photos. MA must seem awfully dull and colorless in contrast with Thailand and India.

Alas we are headed back to S Florida for 6 weeks this Jan, no SE Asia for us this year. I shouldn't be saying "alas" about it, but I even find Hawaii a bit dull in comparison with SE Asia. However, dh has agreed to a Jan/Feb 2013 trip back "over there" so I'll start planning it soon.

Thanks again.
Sue

we head to florida on jan 28 for a month with a one week cruise in the middle (i'm sure we will hate it).

if you see us say hello....

Where will you be in Fl? we are in 4 locations over the next 6 weeks and on both coasts.... perhaps we will meet up in FL of all places.

amelia island at end of jan, then ft myers about the 2nd of feb for a couple of days, then our cruise, then miami 12-14, then key west hyatt 14-16, then gainesville, then tallahassee, the st augustine on the 20th, then heading north via SC, VA and NJ.

I'll be in St Pete area for one week, Feb 8-15, if anyone happens to be around there! I always stay in one place, but I guess I could move around.

Bob, where is your cruise going, and what ship are you taking? I assume it's in and out of Miami? Or Ft Lauderdale?

Where will you be in Miami?

in and out of ft laud. its the celebrity soltice going to western carrib.

in miami we will be at marriott on biscayne bay....we have stayed there before and its fun to watch the ships come and leave....

come to kw for a couple of days---14-16... mcbeanie may be there too? or come down to miami---use some points...
