Conference in Montego Bay, Jamaica

I've been lucky to travel quite a bit for work this year, but was pleasantly surprised when one of the assignments came in as a 3 day conference in Montego Bay, Jamaica at an all inclusive resort. I'm always happy to travel, especially to exotic locations in the Caribbean.

India - Outtakes

Here are some images that I like and didn't post while I was traveling.

Mumbai - Final Days in India

As my final days come to a close in India, I end on a high note. The beautiful city of Bombay (Mumbai) has so many amazing sites and some great food to offer.

Udaipur

Udaipur is another amazing city within Rajasthan. They say it's like the Venice of the East, and with all of the lakes you can understand how it got that name

Jodhpur - Day 2

We ventured out of town with our local guide Praveen, into a small village outside of Jodhpur where we saw local artisans hand spinning pots, hand weaving carpets and a truly fascinating opium ceremony with a Bishnoi caste member.

Jodhpur

Jodhpur is another amazing place, and pretty different from the rest of India that we've seen so far. The people seem calmer and more friendly, certainly the sales people are less aggressive. Our hotel, Ajit Bahwan, is one of the finest places I've ever stayed.

The Taj Mahal from Agra Fort

Possibly the best views of the Taj Mahal are from locations outside of the walled monument. The Agra Fort is always a favorite place of mine to visit, and it gives some dramatic and different views of the Taj Mahal.

Agra and the Taj Mahal

You can't visit India and not visit the Taj Mahal, its the most magnificent tomb stone ever built. It's not easy to get an interesting image of the building that hasn't already been taken.

More images from India

I don't have much time to write about the work as I'm on the road so much. Below are a set of images taken in Amritsar, India.
