I meant New Delhi not New York!

The copious amounts of unwanted male attention I'd been reciveing lately was wearing me down. Tiredly, and somewhat desprately, I scoured the internet for seat sales that would take me as far away from Egyptian mariage proposals as I could get.

click, click, click, Autsralia. Too expensive.

click, click, click, London. Been there.

click, click, click, New York. Hmmm.... click, click, whoops!

Where the "confirm book now" page was supposed to be, it wasn't and with one click too many I was scheduled to leave for New York in forty eight hours time.

I was strongly leaning towards India and had been eyeing flights to New Delhi and in contact with several Ashrams in Goa before the fatal click, but now that I'm scheduled for New York, I'm not at all sad that I won't be paying my respects to the Dalai Lama (at least not on this trip).

Steve sends his regards for Kenya where he has arrived safely. DOT has set him up with a homestay complete with maid service and cook. Lucky boy. He's already considering extending his stay for an extra month. If had someone to cook for me and clean up after me, I probably would want to stay loger too.

More importantly, he has not been kidnapped and promises to post a picture of a hippo soon.
