Welcome to My Renewed Travel Blog!

IMG_5438 Sorry to say, I think my last post was in 2017. Oh my.

Well, now I’m getting ready to go on another big trip. I am leaving on Sunday for Adelaide, Australia. I will be teaching a Summit University class there called The Odyssey of Your Soul.

From there, I go to India to work with my colleague, Jaspal Soni, and teach a few workshops.

As I was preparing to renew this blog, I noticed a little article that I never posted about our train trip to Jaipur. We are not going to Jaipur this time but the article brought back happy memories, so here it is:

We feel peaceful here in Jaipur, India, known as the Pink City. What an interesting place.

Jaipur is a 4.5 hour train ride from Delhi. But not to worry about the travel time…here in Executive Class we are occupied almost the entire distance (yes, a slight exaggeration) with breakfast delivered in stages by this gentleman with a cart or trays.

The stages come roughly like this:

  • Newspaper
  • Bottle of water and paper cup
  • Tea with a thermos carafe of hot water
  • Bread and butter
  • Cornflakes
  • Hot milk (I believe this is for the cornflakes but I ate mine dry)
  • Banana
  • Omelet or a vegetarian selection
  • More tea

Once this is complete you basically have time for a nap and you are there.

What a nice way to travel.

    I could never take that trip – they didn’t offer coffee!

    Great city for the pink buuldings, exquisite and unusual granite that can be used for counters or flooring. Also quite a wonderful selection of jewelers.

      Thank you for the good wishes and prayers! I wish I could come to Maui, but we will only be on Kauai for one week. At least we will be closer and maybe we can have a phone call in the same time zone!💜👍😀
