Nisa's and Aisa's List of Places to See


I have definitely been bitten by the travel bug. And this year has been pretty good, travel wise- I've been to north (or was it south?) Carolina, England and now Chicago. I wish the weather had been better though- I literally got snowed in for 2 weeks (my entire stay!) in England and my flight to Chicago was delayed by 48 hours thanks to some crazy rains in NY ( I don't know why these american airline carries can't invest in a few sturdy planes that won't fall apart at the first sign of wind). Anyway, my point is that travel is good, and I am a much happier (less crankier) person when I have seen a few new sights and met a few new people. As a result, I have decided that one of my goals for the next few years is to make sure I see atleast 2 new places a year. This is where I get to make a list (yipee!)-
Places that I think will be interesting to visit (in no particular order):
- China ( ok, I'm not going to lie, but General Tso's chicken played a huge part in this choice)
-San Fransisco (because Nisha is going to know all the cool things to do here)
-Colorado (because Jeff will drive us around:D)
-Morocco!!!(bascially everywhere around the mediterranian- interestingly, food plays a huge part here as well)
-Jaipur ( I love the color pink and I love palaces and Jaipur has pink palaces! Woah. )
-Delhi (although i've been here once before, it was prior to reading City of Djinns, so it doesn't count)
- New Zealand (if it was good enough for Frodo Baggins, it's good enough for me! Also, i hear that this is a great place to live, so it will be a good opportunity to scope out the place, all the while pretending to be just on holiday)
While we are on the subject of travel, I love this blog: www.expatharem.com

PS: Niloufer, you can come with us if you promise to behave:P
