It's all a little strange. More odd, perhaps, is that my answer to the question remains the same. I would go to India in a heartbeat.

Vacation in India?
Tuesday night I met a couple of friends for dinner prior to leaving town for Turkey Day. During the course of our conversation I expressed my desire to take an exotic vacation in the near future. When pressed for a destination I responded Mumbai, India. The response was prompted by a book I finished last week entitled Shantaram, which is set in Mumbai. Ironically, one of the targeted sights in Wednesday's terrorist attacks, Leopold Cafe (see link to article below), was a favored hangout of the characters in Shantaram.

I like how the book, written a decade or two ago, refers to Bombay as Mumbai as the locals called it then and now everyone does...our bombay. glad you finished it.
I am certainly glad I finished it too. A worthy recommendation indeed.
If I could only do something about this travel itch that has overcome me :) In due time, I suppose.
