    Thanks for the feedback ladies! Whereabouts in India did you both go to?

    I have been twice before to Bangalore, Mysore, Mumbai and Hyderabad but am yet to see the Taj Mahal, so I think a trip to Delhi maybe in order this time, I know DH is dying to see it too!
    Thanks for the advice re malaria boo boo. I have thalassemia, a blood disorder which is a mutation against malaria, it's genetic so DS has a decent chance of having it too which could come in handy given his age. So only DH will have to take those horribly bitter pills!

    Nappies is one thing I have to work out, DS is in cloth but we'd need a whole suitcase just for the nappies they're so bulky But we'd prob go for a month so that's ALOT of disposables as well. My cousin over there has a young daughter so might have to speak to her and suss out what nappies are like over there.

    Interesting tid bit: I once read somewhere that thalassemia is a common disorder amongst people who live in countries prone to malaria, so they can't get sick. The wonders of evolution!
