When I myself had kids, we started doing more independent travel because we figured the people on the group tour didn't want to listen to my kid all the time. Anyways, I've come to prefer it. I like that you had a chance to visit someone's house, although it sounds anything but typical. With an interesting in heritage preservation, I can understand why he'd open his doors to strangers. I also didn't realize that the Portuguese had a presence in India. I cannot wait to hear about prepping for the High Threat Area, although you obviously came through all right, thank goodness.Michele {Malaysian Meanders}https://www.blogger.com/profile/18313351463568423694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011248318265372337.post-48501641947035570402015-10-26T07:20:09.768-07:002015-10-26T07:20:09.768-07:00I never used to be a fan of organized tours either...I never used to be a fan of organized tours either and when I'm in my home country (US) I still usually prefer to go out on my own.
