Wow!!!! Great Plan!!!!

Hey!!!!

Isn't that a great plan.... Dont you think so???? I feel we are going to have a great time at our honeymoon.... The plan includes all the important places and equal amount of rest.... This makes the plan even better and enjoyable....

Let me narrate the story of how we finally arrived at this plan.... It was a long journey from deciding to this stage.... We decided on the place and searched for important and unique places in and around Bhutan.... We then decided on the places and Adi started making the plan.... In the course of time we found a guide "Karma" Who helped us fine tune our plan and also suggested few other places which could be included.... He also took the responsibility of booking transportation and the hotels at all the places so that it would be comfortable for us....

After this stage my exams started and then there was a big gap.... Almost a month I guess. After that again there was a movement and things started getting confirmed and here all the excitement started....

The excitement is still there and will be there.... I think we would have the best honeymoon(May be everyone says the same hehehehe!!!!) and the most enjoyable one....

Our honeymoon plans!!!!

Its absolutely true that when ever we say "Bhutan"....There is surprise on everyone's face....I think the only person who didnt have that surprise was my uncle Ramu mama.... Insead he started asking why we are not going to "Switzerland". Its been a great journey for me from the day I started speaking to Adi till today and will be till the very end of my life.... I have been learning a lot from him.... Another very important thing I learnt from him is planning.... Its been an amazing plan he has made. I really am lucky to have such a person as my partner for life(So that I can leave all the planning to him and enjoy!!!!hehehehe).

Bhutan is a lovely place and one of the most beautiful places which has not been touched by humans.... Thankgod.... Else it also would be like any other place.... This is one very important reason we chose Bhutan as the place. I was very particular that we have to be out of India for our honeymoon and this fulfilled that criteria also.... I am really excited about the whole plan and I am sure even Adi is.... Especially the route through which we are going to Bhutan.... Darjeeling!!!! the lovely tea gardens the Toy train hhhhhhhhhoooooooooo.... Just cant stop thinking of it .... yeppie....I just feel like jumping of joy....

He has been crazy about Cambodia since the very begining....I can recall sometime after we met on the 26th of Dec he said we will go to Cambodia.... I asked my mom and she suggested that we could go to a colder place as it would be too hot there.... Realising that we couldnt go for our honeymoon to such a place we decided on Bhutan..... Accha now....dear what have you been doing with the profiles in the name of kambhuja_pravasi????haan.... I know made many girl freinds saying that u are from cambodia right.....

Keeping all the negatives away and thinking about the positives Adi has I have been very happy with him.... He is a wonderful man to be with....

Looking forward for the marriage and ofcourse the honeymoon.... The most enjoyable period in anybody's life....
