Becky Haney writes: Visiting New Delhi was such a fabulous experience after being away for 30 years. The changes in the economy and environment are amazing but the city still shines like an eternal, ancient jewel. And, although the sights, sounds and smells have changed, it really was like coming home.

The American Embassy School treated all of us like VIPs. Bob Dow and the staff at AES planned a wonderful experience for us and the two days of the Golden Anniversary Celebration was in itself a great experience. It was comforting to see the school and the changes made since we were there. Leslie Hiebert, Tina Perelli, Stefan Halens, Deepak Sen, Rick Odgers, Dolly Suneja, Sunaina Suneja, Jackie Singh and others were there to help celebrate AIS's birthday, and it was great to see and visit with them after all these years.

Robert Cotellesse, Doug & I traveled together and spent a week in Delhi, two days in Jaipur, and a week in Goa, where we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in the FANTASTIC 90 degree weather and the beautiful coastal cities on the Arabian Sea. My first time in Goa - and definitely, not my last time.

Shanti, OM and Namaste, BECKY
