Leaving On A Jet Plane


The bags are packed and we're off shortly. Jon and I celebrate our anniversary today, 19 years of fun, frolics and adventures. We'll be raising a glass once we check our bags in and get a seat in Manchester Airport's branch of Wetherspoons.

What are we up to for the next three weeks?


You'll find us here most days


With a few cultural diversions


and getting reaquainted with the local wildlife


Scouring the many flea markets for silk dresses, chappals and tribal jewellery


Clubbing in downtown Mumbai

and just enjoying each other's company.

Thanks for your friendship, support and fabulous comments. 
You guys rock.

  49. Happy Anniversary! Travel safely -- wish I could go clubbing with you in Mumbai! How do the ladies there tend to dress for clubbing? I'm imagining Bollywood-level makeup and hair, but have no idea what the typical night-out clothing, shoes, and jewelry are like.

  89. Ohhh... TRIBAL JEWELLERY... I am obsessed with it, especially since finding a book about Iris Apfel and all the stuff she wears. (My post on it is here: http://stylewilderness.blogspot.com/2011/04/iris-apfel-thinks-turquoise-goes-with.html )
    If you're selling any of the jewellery and prepared to ship to Australia, let me know!
    Oh, and have an amazing time!

  90. Hi Vix, this is my first visit. I came by way of Ofelia at My Intended Life. Happy Anniversary. Did you guys get together when you were 10? 19 looks like too big a number when I look at your cute couple photo. I am soooo jealous BUT happy for you to be in India. It's been my heart place since I am about 5 years old. By the time I was 10, I was cleaning every new possession with incense. Past life and all that. Have a wonderful time. Nice to meet you!
