but I will start a new thread under 'other countries' especially because this time we are doing a mix of family visits and being a 'tourist' in Mumbai, Goa, Kerala and Delhi. I am going back after five years and for the first time since Oscar's Aunt who always wanted us to spend all our time with her (and we loved her) passed away last year--she was the last of the older generation from our families. So now it is friends and siblings so we are doing some Air B&Bs. In Goa we found this Air B&B that turned out to be on the same lane as Oscar's family house about 2 minutes walk down the lane; it has been renovated by an Australian who visited the village and never left and he rents it out when he goes back to Australia. 
OMG that's how long ago it was! Wasn't she 5 at the time? Time doesn't stand still for any of us! I am headed back late May and now spend 2 months there and go back again in Sept for another 2 months. Our time overlaps with Alpinista and his wife who are close by so actually it's thanks to ST we met great friends! I see familar names here.
