So, my Mom has basically never left the friendly confines of our great United States. I say basically because she did honeymoon across the border in Montreal in 1967!!! She got her very first passport at 61 years of age and here she is, her very first time abroad! Most people work their way up to India. Not Mom. She and Pat walked through the door, after 20 hours of air travel... at 4:45 am. Needless to say, the kids were ecstatic to see her!! By noon, Pat was well into his 7 hour nap. Not Mom...
We went to explore Palm Meadows... we are starting out slow - baby steps. Just Palm Meadows for the first 2 days!!
First stop... Lauren's favorite elephant. She gives it a pat on trunk each time she passes by.
Next... the ATM ... Mom's first Indian rupees - 1,000 of them ($20 USD)
Her first purchase... Baskin Robbins x 3 ... 120 rupees (about 2 bucks)
Then on to the club for a tour and some lunch...
Mom was quite adventurous. She ate masala dosa, sambar, and garlic naan!A great first day. Be sure to follow close, I will be updating often with Grandma in India news and photos!!!
