India!

My next adventure is India!! I`ve booked my flights for February 13 and I`ll be coming home April 9. From February 26 to March 25 I`ll be doing a yoga teacher training course at Ashiyana in Goa. The accommodations look AMAZING and I`m so excited for some yoga and meditation in such a beautiful place. The rest of my trip is to be determined. I`m doing research right now trying to decide my best options.
So far places/ things of interest are...
- Hampi (amazing climbing!!)
- Bangalore
- Mysore
- Bijapur
- Mumbai (I fly in and out of Mumbai)
- Goa (obviously spending a lot of time here already but the surrounding areas look gorgeous)
I'm sure I'll find more things of interest as I continue my research and reading.

My thought is that I'll arrive in Mumbai and take a train to Bijapur or Hospet. From there I can get a bus or train to Hampi. The train from Mumbai to Hospet is almost 24 hours... and if it's anything like the sleeper train I took in China it'll be an experience.
So far my attempts to book trains online have been futile... the websites are so confusing it's almost funny. Oonagh has helped me out with a website that she used to book train tickets, she said it's much more straight forward so I'm going to try that.
If the train is anything like the website I'm in for some fun.

VERYYY excited, but definitely a little apprehensive!
