Day 0 - Road Trippin'

This year end break is going to be very different from the last few…For starters it’s not a beach vacation! More importantly it’s a road trip…I’m reminded of the line from the Aerosmith song ‘Amazing’ – “Life’s a journey, not a destination”

This year the theme is “fort spotting”…we are visiting about 6 to 7 villages and towns in Rajasthan and staying in forts and havelis…While the experience of staying in heritage property is interesting the thought of rubbing shoulders with the European tourists who descend by the hordes in this part of the country is not!

A road trip also means a lot more responsibility…Cant drink and party all night and wake up with a hangover…Similarly the car needs to be well oiled and the body needs to be well rested.

Besides, packing for the winters is a nightmare. For someone who travels very light, it’s a bit frustrating to see a couple of jackets and a pair of shoes occupying half the space in my strolley. Anyway Bani is joyous at the thought of not having to pack to the limit of the check in baggage!

Armed with all the trip advisor hotel ratings and the Google map mobile application - Its time to step on the gas!
