JankyBob 0 #1 September 28, 2006 Hi everyone. As many of you already know, I am heading to India to spread Shannon's (girlfalldown) ashes and go on a spiritual journey of my own. I have setup a newsgroup to which I will post stories and pictures along the way. The newsgroup is called journeytoindia and you can subcribe by sending a blank email to: journeytoindia-subscribe@yahoogroups.com I am leaving on October 12th and will be coming back in late February. I can't believe its only two weeks away. Yikes! I am flying into Dehli and heading to a place up north called Nainital, in the foothils of the Himalayas. I will spend a week there and then I will just follow my instincts. I will post some more details on the newsgroup before I head out. Lots of Love!

marcandalysse 0 #4 September 28, 2006 Bodhgaya after november thru feb is worth a visit. Sit under the tree where Buddha was enlightened. Lots of international pilgrims. Dalai Lama spends lots of time there.
