Traveling to India with a felony? I have a felony from 15 years ago (when I was 19 years old). It’s a very long story but I basically crossed the border with an illegal immigrant and have a charge for that.

Meat in India question (not what you think) I have a trip to Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai coming up. It’s my understanding that in the Indian religion you can’t eat beef. I have a very Strange medical condition that requires me to have access to beef, as it’s the easiest food for my stomach to digest. I can subsist on chicken and vegetables but after a few days I am in a real pain. Does any…

Our last trip was to Vietnam-Cambodia-Thailand where we thoroughly enjoyed an immersion into hugely different cultures than what we left behind at home (USA). We’ve had reasonably good luck with Tripmasters on this trip and prior trips elsewhere. Now we’r…
