Really getting excited about the trip now. I hope Paul doesn't think I can play cricket - blind as a bat and very slow - I think I will be more use as the cuddly mascot!!
Nice to hear from fellow travellers.
Gill
Another Gill - how nice - look forward to meeting you - cricket - no - played at school (a very long time ago!!) and always got bored with it unless I was bowling or batting - but don't tell Paul!!
T'other Jill
We don't know ANYTHING about cricket but looking forward to another trip with Paul. Has anyone been to India before?? Any tips ? ( not to include any mention of cricket ! )
Hazel and Richard
Hello Hazel & Paul - join the club - cricket - played it at school years ago (not saying how many!!) so not my favourite sport!
No - I haven't been to India before, but Jackie has. I went to Masai Mara with Paul and Jonathen Scott last year. I have also been to Namibia and worked as a volunteer with Cheetah Conservation Fund, which was amazing. Can't wait for India now - I am sure it is going to be brilliant.
Look forward to meeting you both.
Jill
Hi Hazel & Richard
Looking forward to meeting everyone. I was in India in February and Bandhavgarh was unbelievably cold in the early mornings, so I will taking clothes that I can layer, gloves as well.
I don't know how unusual it was but I'm not taking any chances.
Gill
.....not cricket !!
Hello to Gill and Hazel and Richard!!
Not long now - thanks Gill for confirming the cold bit - I went later, Feb/Mar time (2005) and it was chilly in the mornings but it did warm up during the day. Layers it is then!
Guess we need to take something for the train journeys too! Also Jill has found out that we would be better off taking sterling and not travellers cheques etc.
I also travelled to Kenya with Paul and Jonathon back in March - that's where Jill and I met!
Anyone else got any good tips?!?!
see you all soon!!
Jackie
Do we need anti malarials or are the mossies frozen at that time of year??
H and R
hi there
Jill and I got differing advice - I was told by my GP yes and she was told no!!
We spoke to Exodus and they said it was a matter of personal choice but it may be better to be safe than sorry!!
The upshot is that we have gone for them - but we have again been given different advice - I have got the chloroquine and proginuil (?) combo and Jill has got Malerone!!
The combo ones started today - a week before travel! They are the ones that I had before.
So good luck - not very helpful for you!! sorry!
Happy New Year
Jackie
Would love to hear from fellow travellers going on this trip - with Paul Goldstein.
It's getting close!
Jackie
