In January of 1994, Chris Allis and I traveled to India for the wedding of a close friend, Amar Hanspal (Hans). We first met Hans in Bombay (aka Mumbai) and got ourselves acclimated With the help of Hans' uncle, a travel agent, we did a couple week trip around North India before the actual wedding was to occur. We flew from Bombay to New Delhi. Took a train from New Delhi to Agra. Had a hired car from Agra to Jaipur. Took a cab from Jaipur to Udaipur. Flew back to Bombay from Udaipur. The wedding took place over 4 days in the middle of January. It was the most beautiful (visually) and touching (spiritually and emotionally) wedding I've ever attended. Thank you Hans and Anita! I love you guys.
