When you first decide, that's it, I'm going away it does seem like all you need to do is book the tickets and go. To an extent thats true and of course we think everyone should do it!
However, after finding flights, travel insurance, hotels and buying a ton of mosquito repellent, you must remember your visa. Naively I thought this was going to be easy to do ourselves. After trying our hardest to complete the Indian embassy application and submit it in Manchester we decided to give in and hand it over a private company to handle, and although costing an extra £30 each in processing fees, it has at least relieved the hassle somewhat.
All going through now and hopefully we should have our visas back next week!

Officially Going Now!
We just received our tickets and we travel out to Mumbai, India on 7th February (just over a month away). Lots to do in preparation, including figuring out what we can (or can't) fit in out backpacks!
We're booking a hotel in advance for the first few nights to relieve the pressure when we get there. We nearly booked one through a travel agent.....
THANK GOD WE DITHERED! Have a look and see for yourself. Pay particular attention to the cockroaches crawling out of the mouthpiece in the room's phone: Click Here!
