Today started with a grand attempt to see the sunrise over the Taj Mahal. Now, we are south of the Taj, so that’s not really possible, but the idea of seeing the Taj in orange sunrise seemed appealing enough to warrant a 7am alarm. That wasn’t really the case. It was absolutely freezing and the […]

Taj Mahal from Our Window
Well, this was an annoying day up until our arrival in Agra, so I wont dwell too much on all of the negatives that finally gave way to our romantic vacation within a vacation. Up at 6:15, tender boat around 7:25 (Indian standard time guaranteed its late departure, like everything in India), couldn’t find the […]
Mumbai, India in a Day
Mumbai, India!! I have always wanted to go to India. Most of that has only to do with my name, and btw there are a lot of streets/shops named Chandra or some variation, but also because of the craziness of the culture and the delicious food. I think I’ve seen a fair amount of photos […]
Sailing to India on the Silver Wind
These days sailing to India…I was going to write about each day separately, but honestly these days smooshed together. We slept a lot both days, that is for sure. We did other things too, like played Scrabble, played trivia with our old British team and we ate a lot. Meals included pizza and Indian food […]
Muscat, Oman: Home of the 2nd Largest Carpet in the World
Oman! A brand new country not counting yesterday and a chance to explore an interesting city. Dave was all “get up get up get up” at some unreasonable hour so I got ready and made it off the boat by 9am, just in time to catch the shuttle to the city center. Our first order […]
The Fjords of Oman
Our first port of call was Fujairah in the UAE. Dave and I had researched this area and there seemed to be literally nothing going on. The ship had a great excursion that actually bypassed Fujairah altogether and took us to Oman for the day on a dhow to see the fjords, which was thrilling […]
The Silver Wind
We had planned on going to breakfast some time before 10:30am, but when we awoke at 1pm…well, that was not possible. We packed, got ready, and arranged for a taxi to take us to Port Rashid around 2:30. Before leaving, we enjoyed a fantastic lunch by the pool and fountains. I had the chicken briyani, […]
Desert Safari from Dubai
Dave, in a childlike “its Christmas morning” way, was eager to start the day at 9am. Having gone to bed 6 hours ago, I was not so eager, but I still got up anyways. We didn’t really have any plans, but we both got ready to start the day regardless. The first order of business […]
