I've finally emerged from the fog of jet lag (after a 15 hour flight from JFK to Mumbai which followed an 8 hour layover there) so thought I should check in. We spent one night at a very nice Taj hotel in Mumbai and then had a quick and smooth embarkation. We had dinner with Jan and Fred our first night on board, but yesterday I really felt bad. Jerry and I laid down at around 2 in the afternoon and woke up at 9. So we ordered room service and went back to bed--missed formal night altogether. But today I feel like a human being again. We had a nice time in Cochin today at a ship provided "Kerala experience" and a local hotel on the water-- a cultural show and nice buffet of local foods. Back on the ship now--so I'll probably even make tea and trivia today. More later.
