We will soon be on our way to Mumbai, India!

What the hell? That destination wasn't even ON our radar, NOR on my Bucket List!  However, right now, if our ticketing doesn't change, Mumbai is our best chance of getting to Bangkok, Thailand, and from there, experiencing our great adventure, which involves a twelve day trek in the Himalayas, and some R & R on the shores of the South China sea in Vietnam.  All our exploring has been in the works since last spring, (Thailand, Bhutan and Vietnam) and will hereby be referred to as the TBV TOUR.  It almost sounds like a disease!

You know how you have these feelings of great anticipation, and sometimes a little trepidation, when you are about to embark on a big trip or vacation, especially if you are going far, far away?

W...E...L...L, how about TONS of trepidation, and ZILTCH of anticipation, because every day in the news, for the last month or more, there has been talk of nothing but Covid 19, and its spread worldwide. Each day the news gets worse! However, our countries are not on the A list. Bhutan has no cases of the virus. Knock on wood!

The Princess Traveler and I refuse to be cowed.  I am an Intrepid Traveler. Despite four itinerary changes by Air Canada, Asiana Airlines and Thai Airlines, we remain undaunted.  Asia or be damned - Coronavirus be damned too!

We are ready! The Princess Traveler is a health and food safety inspector and next to a doctor/nurse, she KNOWS germs.  We are very, VERY well prepared in every way.  So I am positively relaxed about this virus thing. I am almost comatose. Check me for a pulse why don't you? :)

Now, once it comes time to return to Canada in a month... I may be feeling a little differently, if this Covid 19 has been declared a worldwide pandemic. For now, it is all systems go!!  I must admit though... our timing was NOT the best!

 STAY TUNED!
