OMFG...what an amazing hotel...


The view from our room...

When you first arrive, you become an honorary dot-head...

The pool area...

Blythe is ready for the Taj Mahal in the morning...

Agra

Drove to Agra today...first stop, the Agra Fort.

Beautiful saris everywhere...

Our first glimpse of the Taj Mahal...

Was starting to turn into a History Channel tour so I got creative...

Trident

Too bad we only got to spend one night here...

The lobby...

The view from our room...

The stairway to the pool...

Way Too Long...

After two flights and TWO DAYS, we finally arrived in Delhi and went right to bed.  Now it's Saturday morning and we've been wide away since 3:00AM!!


The second flight was on a Cathay Pacific regional jet so just your basic business class with so-so service and a reclining seat but the first 14.5 hours was spent in the lap of luxury, Cathay Pacific First Class...


Ray enjoying his first champagne (on the plane)...

The seat is large enough for two people...but then that would be like coach...(smirk)

No seat number...

They set it up so we could enjoy dinner together...

Freshly grilled (yup, right on the plane) tenderloin...

Then they made up the bed and I slipped into an ambien-induced coma

First time I had fried eggs on a plane...
