I made it back to the states and even beat the snow ! My flight back went smoothly and I even got an upgrade for the 11 hr leg of the trip. My last few days in Hyderabad were wonderful. The Thai Spa was amazing and my weekend with Deepti's family was a lot of fun. Deepti's Aunt and cousin took me shopping and we also went to see Slumdog Millionaire (if you haven't seen it I highly recommend it !). I had a very enlightening trip to India and have returned home refreshed and relaxed. As my first passport is expiring this year, I looked back at all the trips I have been able to take in my 20s and feel rather lucky to have been able to see so much of the world. I think thru each trip I have learned a little bit more about the world and about myself. Thanks to all those who took the time to read my blog. Stay tuned for my next big trip which will most likely be my honeymoon with Rich :-)
