TRAVELOGUE- journey of a lifetime

PROLOGUE
It is always thrilling to see the stamp of visa on the passport and the feeling to look at visas of 2 different countries has a double impact. The quintessential things when you are planning travel abroad is to have visas done well in hand , get flights booked, accommodation and tour package well planned out and reconfirmed, foreign exchange done, budget planned, bags packed and to-do list prepared. Being the kind of person I am getting me to do any of this is like asking the sun to rise from the west. Not gonna happen very easily. Is my tour gonna be a disaster then? am i likely to forget something important? am i gonna mess it up? well the answer to all these questions is a two letter word in english ..NO.. the reason is i m not going alone on this tour!! i m on my honeymoon with my wife vathika who is at the other end of the spectrum when it comes to being organised and disciplined. When it comes to travelling abroad she is far more experienced than me having covered half the world!! Not an irony that she has a international travels company which operates on her name and i swear i am not advertising the company using blog as platform!!

So, my work was all done and responsibility taken off as my wife did most of the things for me and I have no shame in giving all deserved credit to her. carry on minks!!
All the marriage related functions and programmes like temple visits were over by 10 of December and our travel date was dec 14. the anticipation and excitement levels could not be measured on any scale! it was just a matter of few hours that we would be going on an extravagant journey; journey of a lifetime!!

dec 13 2011 1900 hours... 24 hours to go before tour starts...
