India 2004. I've mentioned here in the past that my father is Indian. This was a chance I had to tour the country and get to see family largely with my dad.

My Air India flight from JFK-LHR-DEL was delayed in London for 3 hours because someone died on the plane but no one realized until everyone deboarded. That seems a very Air India thing to happen. Was supposed to have someone pick me up at the airport but assumed that they didn't wait because of the massive delay. Didn't realize it was India so all he had to do was wait and was there. Gave him $10 tip and felt bad because it was all I had. Dad laughed and said that was probably what he made in a week.

None of my family thought I would like it. I wasn't a picky water except with Indian food. Stuck to Tandoori chicken and samosas and a few other things. But when I got there I tried everything put in front of me and loved it all.

Got to see so much. The Red Fort in Delhi. The Taj Mahal in Agra. Indore and my grandfather's desk. (He died around my 1st birthday) Jodhpur (the blue city) and Udaipur and it's amazing Lake Palace. And of course Bombay.

I'm currently in Bali and am experiencing a little but of a similar situation in that I'm alone. Though Qatar Airways business class is a bit nicer than Air India economy. And my Villa at the W Seminyak is nicer than any thing I've stayed in, so not an entire 1:1 comparison. I'll do a trip report eventually, hopefully with pictures. Because Bali is amazing

As an aside, wearing a script Cuse t-shirt at one of the bars at the W and just got a Go Orange. We're even in Bali.
