holiday summary & pics

i've uploaded the holiday trip pics to India. check out the Zorpia link at the bottom of the right column. i'm glad i didn't cancel the trip. the penalty played a big part actually (LOL).
anyway, it was a really great experience, Alhamdulillah. i never imagined that i would survive such a long time with the sis alone, but we got home in one piece each.
there was one incident where the airport security didn't tag my hand luggage and i had to disappear without informing her and she got fuming mad with me. i had to scoot off like my pants were on fire for fear that i would miss the flight if i had to go through the security checks again. but i managed to just get the bag scanned and tagged without having to line up and get myself frisked again.
the other bad experience was that i developed a stomach upset from the second day of the trip. everything i put in my mouth went the way of the merlion. even threw up in the car on myself halfway through on a 6 hrs trip from Agra to Jaipur. the poor driver had to make a stop and clean up the mess. i felt so guilty that we gave him extra in tip.
the sis' camera had a little 'athma' attack when we reached Kashmir. we thought the camera had died on us but turned out the battery got a big shock in the cold temperature that it flatlined. so the pics of us in the snow wasn't captured with her camera. we made new friends in Kashmir. they were so kind to offer to take our pics at Gulmarg Mountain with their camera.
that's the summary of the trip. overall, we had such a good experience and so much fun. if given another chance, i would like to go there again. despite the bad news reports, it's not a dangerous place at all.
