I got my bags packed on a roll heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good

in my passport photo.

Amateur Traveler episode 590. Today the amateur traveler talks about

sacred cows and night trains, tuck tucks and touts, temples and the Taj Mahal as we go to India.

I know that I should be heading home

but maybe not, maybe not today.

Welcome to the amateur traveler. I'm your host Chris Christensen. We've got a special

episode for you this week as we talk about India with a group of people who

joined me in India last November. I'm going to have some help on this particular episode.

This is going to be one of those episodes we do about once a year where we talk about an amateur

traveler trip and I'm going to have some of the people who went with me, four of the seven, who were with me in India, help tell that story.

But first, let me just tell you that we're going to talk about an India experience. So we're going to talk about an India experience.

So we're going to talk about some landmarks.

We're going to get to Taj Mahal, for instance, right away,

because that's one of the things that we saw,

and some of the things we saw.

But expect in this particular episode to get more of a sense of the experience of India

than a perfect itinerary. But if you want to look at our itinerary, I want to lay that out for you first. You can go to amateur traveler.com

slash India 2017 that's when this trip was. It was five different

destinations. We went to Delhi and then we went to Varanasi on a night train way over across India and

then back again to Agra and then a small village called Tortig, and then to Jaipur, and then back to Delhi.

And this was an 11-day trip.
