There’s a good chance I’ll be travelling to India and the Philippines again in the new year and I’m currently running through the pre-trip preparation hoops – travel visa applications, visits to heath centres for shots and medications, investigating plane tickets and hotels…it’s been a busy few days.

I loved visiting Bangalore in 2003 and have been desperate to return to India ever since. This upcoming trip will be more of a whirlwind visit – spending approximately a week (each) in Gurgaon and Mumbai and a few days in both Pune and Bangalore.

After our tour of India, the plan is to head to Manila for about a week and a half. Hopefully I’ll have a chance to meet up with Eula, Pau and Paul when I hit the ground in Manila. I can’t imagine a trip to Manila without spending hours gabbing away with Eula. We’ve spent so many days and nights talking and sharing our impressions of the world around us that the conversation is as welcome as the escape from the Canadian winter.

Stay tuned for more details. As usual, I’ll do my best to blog during my travels, but will need to learn more about the available internet connections (I paid for access on a per day basis back in 2003) before I can promise daily updates while in India. Daily updates shouldn’t be an issue in Manila, as internet connectivity hasn’t been an issue in the hotels in the past.Â
