I'm BACK.
And happy to report I had NO digestive illnesses while gone.
WOOT!
I can't say the same for my father-in-law though. *snicker* Yeah, it's mean to laugh at someone else's misfortune but (and I say this with kindness *eyeroll*) the man insisted on eating like a hog despite not being used to rich/spicy Indian food so he gets what he deserves.
I'm really not keen to be back, either. It's frickin COLD here. I want the 80-90 degree warmth of Bombay, thanks. I was not amused when the plane landed in Pittsburgh and the pilot announced it was a whopping 30. THIRTY DEGREES. No.
I have an assload (meaning over a thousand) pictures to sort through, so it will be a bit before I have a "what I did on my vacation" post ready. But as a sneak preview I will tell you this. I saw THREE tigers on my safaris (two safaris) and got some pictures. I also saw free roaming monkeys but I'm not sure we got snaps of them (we were in a car so I doubt we did--riding in a car in India is an experience in and of itself!).
I also got pics of my mehendi. It's already starting to fade in some spots which makes me sad.
So, since I've been gone so long and will have to actually WORK while I'm at work (as opposed to working a little bit in between bouts of goofing off), I probably won't ever get fully caught up with LJ.
If you posted something and you think I'd like to see it, please leave a comment with a link. That way when I take a random work break I'll have a handy dandy cheat sheet to the good stuff.
Thank you to all those who wished me a safe journey. Now, I have to get back to work (boo, hiss).
