I'm back. But sans a tan!

Aloha and wish you all a Happy New Year 2007. May this year bring you all good health, good times and lots of pleasant surprises!

I recently came back from Hawaii and for someone who has travelled a fair bit and someone who does not give compliments until she really means them, I can tell you that it is the most wonderful place I've ever been to. I will let the pictures speak for themselves!

Enjoy!

India / Italy 2006

I've been back for a long time and I know this should have come sooner. So without further ado and with my sincere apologies:

P. and S. at the Memorial Monument, Washington















P. at Lake Como, Italy
And no, I did not run into George Clooney there!









P. at Piazza Duomo, Milan, Italy














Milan, Italy

P. beside a horse-drawn carriage, Agra, India
P. and S. at the Taj Mahal, Agra, India
It's gorgeous from the outside. But the inside is a slight disappointment. Who thinks tombs are romantic?

My beloved P. with my beloved nephew, M.
Chandigarh, India












Hope you enjoyed the pictures as much as I enjoyed the trip!

PS: I miss my Mom. Just thought I'd share it with someone.
