Day 0 - (Thursday, 12th Jan 06')
Another one of those trips; going to India with a Euro-stop. It's become a dogma with me, of sorts; any trip outside the US doesnt make sense if it doesnt incorporate India in it, and any trip to India doesnt seem complete without a stop in Europe. The two sort of go hand-in-hand. And of course going by past experiences, flying long distances alone, can get extremely boring, so for that and other reasons, Raj and I were flying together.
After hours of research and itinerary-matching, I had finally worked out an itinerary that took Raj and me to London together, from where he moved on to Mumbai and I, to Amsterdam. After a short trip to the Netherlands, I was to be off to Mumbai for about 10 days, (my shortest stay in Mumbai, ever since I stopped living there). Our return flights, of course were booked together.
So the vacation started today; spent the day packing and a trip into the city for some errands. Called a cab for JFK and after the regular checking-in etc found ourselves on a rather empty flight headed to London.

A fresh travelogue after a long time :-)... Just a minor question - was this actually published on Jan 12th :-) Nevertheless I am guessing that I can expect travelogues from days 1,2...10 to follow

Hey Bhaskar,
Yep, this wasnt written on Jan 12th and am still working on some of the remaining days' adventures. Will have them all up soon.
