Make sure you leave time in your itinerary and day-to-day schedule to wander and wonder. Giving yourself time and permission to get lost means you’ll be free to discover hidden gems and sights that aren’t on your map. Leave time to explore, strike up conversations, and lose yourself in the experience. It’s a chance to be whoever we wan to be for awhile. Use your imagination and whip out an alter ego you’ve been working on.

I had orange fingers for the rest of the day. That chicken is the main reason, I’ll go back to the Taj Mahal.
Do not touch the monks unless you ask or they touch you first. This is especially true for women. You should also be aware, some temples are not open to women. Do not be offended. Women were allowed in these temples at one time. Women were banned because they menstruate, soiling the mats.

After the 5ks I moved up to the 6 miler, then the 10 miler and the weight was falling off– fast. I was… am… a slow runner and my goal, a modest 10 minute mile, would be hard to achieve for 13 miles, but by the time Paris rolled around, I was determined to do it.
Military life is colorful, but military housing is not! Your rental or on-post housing will most likely pair beige carpeting with white walls. A combination creating a 360° panorama of ho-hum. The typical military PCS every 2-3 years. Home decorating …

Travel is hard and traveling with kids is even harder. If you treat your trip like an adventure, annoyances, missteps and mishaps simply become small obstacles for your hearty band of explorers to overcome.
It’s important that you both feel you have a part in the success of the trip, it’s even more important to work within each other’s strengths and comfort levels.
