I did not travel for foreign countries yet. If I get the chance for going foreign countries will surely go and enjoy the moments.
Mary, it is not at all difficult these days to visit foreign countries since everything gets taken care of by the travel agents and during off season you have very economical packages .I am sure you will get a chance to viist different countries in the future ... :)
Pay no mind to those who talk behind your back, it simply means that you are two steps ahead !!!

That was because yours turned in to a pleasure trip, once we were coming back from Jaipur to Delhi the driver took a different rout as the highway was jammed by Gurjer agitation. The rout, almost 200km long was through the jungle or unlit dark rough under developed roads. Later, after a couple of hours' journey we came to know that some of the buses were burnt down ahead and we were stopped on the way. We started in the morning when the news came that there is all clear and safe to travel So the journey that takes about 6 hours in normal course took us 18 hours. That was one of the worst although I have gone through many such rough trips. Some of them were not so bad but not pleasant either.
Smething similar happened to us once when we decided to drive all the way to Bombay from Mangalore .We had problem with the cars clutch plate and had to stop at Goa where we could find no accommodation, that being the peak season..We took turns and slept in the car since all five of us were there...It was some experience, but the children loved it :P ,they still talk about it !!
I have a whole list of such tours which ended up in nightmares. Those trips include travel by every possible mode of transport including road, rail and air . I was once stranded on Assam Bengal border for a Bodo agitation for more than 50 hours because they had the traffic blocked for 3 days agitation. I have a whole book to share during my 20 years or so traveling in different parts of the world.
When it happens it seems like a nightmare but later when we look back, it feels like an adventure right ? something which becomes a topic of conversation and will always be remembered ...I think it is a good idea to write down all these experiences .. :)
