Not a good time to be in a Blackout ...

Well - with all the fun and games out here in India, what happens? We lose the internet for 48 hours ...

Now - this might not sound like a lot but, ...

We are in a small village with no TV or Radio and a major terrorist situation going on in the countries capital city.

To say its been tough being in the dark has is an understatement, luckily a friend sent me a load of updates via TXT so I had *some* idea of what was going on.

Monday we are suposed to be decamping from India to florida ... Lets hope that goes smoothly.
For the time being at least we are back on line :)

Indian authorities say seige is over. They're clearing the hotels and checking for booby traps now. All that was effected were high class hotels in Mumbai. Nothing in Delhi and nothing outside of that. Appears to have been Islamists. People were quoted on local TV stations saying terrorists were asking for American & British passports.

You should be safe to come back. Flights have been returning from India without a problem. England cricket team was on one.

Glad to hear you're back online - I too, in scanning things, do not see any problems that could manifest for you in Delhi, due to these aforementioned terrorists. Good luck...
