My parents are from India but I was born & raised in the US. I haven’t been to India since I was 5!!! This is the first time I’m going back, for 1 month. Traveling from Mumbia, Pune, Nagpur (and Deoli), Dehli, Agra, Gao and anything else I can fit in.

Beautiful…went for skiing, but did so much more.

I’m going to ski from Dec 26, 2006 – Jan 4, 2007. Packing right now! Can’t wait!

I absolutley love this place. I was here for 2 days and stayed and extra day instead of spending a day in Milan. The views are beautiful, the people are friendly, the food is awesome.

I didn’t have a place to stay when I got here and was walking around one of the towns looking. The few little old ladies were sitting on a bench and one asked me if I was looking for a place to stay, I said yes. She offered a room in her house which turned out to be a small apartment. She lived with her husband upstairs.

She didn’t speak any english and I spoke very little italian so we tried communicating for about 2 hours by pointing, writing, drawing, etc. Finally she had a neighbor come over and translate.

I remember her pointing to a b&w picture of nyc with the world trade center. I remember her mentioning her soon visited there. I said I used to work near there. Then the next year, 9/11 happened.

I want to go back to to Cinque Terra. I’m sure I could find her house again.

I also remember on the hiking trail climbing down the rocks and finding a nice little beach in an alcove…very private, peaceful, just awesome. The water was crystal clear. Next time, I want to go with a girl.

I would absolutely love to go back. I loved the beaches, 4WD all over the island. An incredible place.

Vancouver is a cool city…Whistler/Black Comb is good skiing

Visit to Ski and the National Parks!

Chicago is worth visiting…don’t know about the rest of Illinois

Worth it if you’re visiting DC and the Blue Ridge Mountains

I ski a lot in vt and can tell you all about it
