Thank you, bleu and Marjorie, for the link. This will obviously make it a whole lot easier (please hukoomi, make sure the website IS up and functioning 24/7). My 2 cents worth for visas - India charges US citizens $150 per person for a tourist visa. I prefer to take my $300 in savings for my husband and myself to vacation elsewhere. Just an economic choice since I think that India is probably the most amazing place I've ever been.
