On March 31st of 2002 I flew out of LAX for my next trip of a lifetime. Armed with a Nikon N70 still camera and my Sony DCR-PC110 digital camcorder/camera, I set out to see: Delhi, Varanasi (the Holy City of the Ganges), Agra (home of the Taj Mahal), Ranthambhore (the great tiger sanctuary), and Jaipur "the Pink City". I had planned to simply use the Lonely Planet book fly to India and just wing it, but I chatted online with Anurag from Colleage Tours, a local company in Agra. for a reasonable price they set up an intinerary and includes guides, hotels and transportation.

If you have Apple's Quicktime Player installed, you can download a minute long trailer for the video from my trip. VIDEO
