Greetings from Mumbi

Greetings from Mumbi. That really big city in India which no one I know who lives in India seems to visit. When I asked around they would recount coming here to pick someone up and then leave, and that was about 2 to 3 years ago. So no help. The travel books are nice but the maps are too limited. So now it a sink or swim kind of visit. So far so good.

It is not all that strange that no one knows about Mumbi. I might be like some one form Phoenix, AZ not knowing anything about Los Angles, CA. I just assumed that they would know some one ( ie friend, relative) some connections. I guess this major city is outside of network of people I know.

Ironically there will be someone here I have some connection to when I return to Mumbi. They are going to be working here in the American diplomatic corps.

So things are good. Independent travel is becoming more enjoyable. So reader, do you like to travel in a group or on your own? Why is your choice best for you?
