Thanks for the response! My Kilts are all safely packed away back in Georgia and I did not bring one with me. As I am here on business, I was asked to leave the kilts behind for this trip.

The program used to create the montage is Photodex's Proshow Producer, you can find out more about it here http://www.photodex.com

What you are seeing right now is just the bones of a movie I am working on. I am working on the fades and transitions as we speak. One of the nice things of Producer is that when you are done with your masterpiece, with a simple click of a button you can create a Flash show, a DVD, a PC movie a VCD, etc. Makes it real easy to use.

I really liked the timing on the pictures and transitions. I had to turn down the volume on some of the music to thoroughly enjoy the visual parts.

My Mom will be arriving at the Bangalore Hindustan Airport next Thursday. She'll be in India for a few weeks before she goes to Dubai and Kenya.

I haven't looked at the State Dept. website lately. If Kashmir is back on the semi-safe list then I'd recommend a trip to the lakes/houseboats and Gengis Kahn's palace and gardens.

I have a trip to Bangalore coming up at the end of the month as I travel to Mysore to go on a jungle tour. I will also be heading to Delhi in the next two weeks as I visit one of our centers there. I hope to see much more of the country than this little part called Hyderabad.

As much as I would like to go see the Kashmir area, we are still being advised against it. If I wait too much longer, it will be impossible to get there due to the onset of winter. I had also hoped to get to Goa and the beaches, but it is prohibitively expensive to stay there as it is a resort area.

For those of you wanting to see the presentation in a larger format, you can go to this link and watch it full screen. It does require downloading a plugin to play it, but it is safe.

Excellent photos and music! I have colleagues who have taken business trips to Mumbai...all have come back with such a great appreciation for the differences in culture. Continue to enjoy yourself!

Very nice. It's hard to take a bad photo of India.

If you like Mughal architecture---and who doesn't---in Delhi the Red Fort is a wonderful thing to see. It is a palace built by Shah Jahan, and its interior is open pavilions amazingly put together to make the most of breezes and water. It's hard to believe that people lived there.

Up the hill from it is the Jama Masjid, also built by Shah Jahan, the largest mosque in India, and still in use. It's said to be built on the site where one of the Mogul conquerors of Delhi watched his troops sack the city.

The National Museum is often over looked, but has great pieces of art from throughout India's history. It's on Janpath, kind of by the grand mall that runs between India Gate and the President's House.

Sorry to hear you aren't felling well. For nausea and vomiting, you can buy compazine over the counter. For diarrhea drinking lots of liquids is important, especially sports drink if you can get it, to get the electrolytes back in balance. There is a powder sold there called Emo that is supposed to be good for that too, mixed with water. You can also get loperamide over the counter.

I hope you continue to enjoy your time there.

ROTFLMAO.... I did not bring a kilt with me. Should I post a picture of me in a Dhoti?

I'd expect that the mods would have to ban the thread after that. A major cause of retinal damage, you know.
