SFO777, on your last trip, you gate crashed a wedding that my friend was attending at the hotel and this time, you got my colleague with you on the plane on the 16th and then you followed his visit to Jaipur. He told me he had a great time and will show me pictures soon and so I sent him your link - he now tells me, all he needs to do is show his friends and family your blog post and he can stop worrying about how to describe his trip

The 787 F class seat is sub par on Etihad. Very poor stowage space in front
The A340-600 is better.
Emirates suite may be cramped, but space inside is excellent

I really would like to know about how often you were harassed. How many touts there are. If there is a horrible smell on the street, etc.
That info cannot be found on a TR with Mrs.SFO777. He is doing 5 Star India.

That window of the country is not the view of the backpacker.
Look at this report for that kind of info.

I have been on parts of the same route on a bike and every bit is true
(just much better photographed than by my limited skills)
