Time flies.... Five years back, we had gone to Mysore a week before Dussehra. The entire city was so alive and vibrant that we promised to return here every year around the same time. While planning for this trip, we happened to go through our previous trip pictures and realized that it had been 5 long years since our last visit!! No particular reason except that time just flew and we didn't even realize...
Coming to this trip, it was a road trip just like the previous one. Having your own car at your disposal also means that you get to explore the city at your own pace. The distance between Bangalore and Mysore is around 145-150kms and takes approximately 3 hours. There are hotels, restaurants and cafes catering to all budgets, along the way. So you need not actually carry anything except water, fruits, and some nice music. The roads are smooth and nice too.
When the whole maddening crowd heads to the hills and cooler climes, the few sane ones, like us, hit the sunny beaches. Orrr..... that is atleast what you do when your work-obsessed husband (who thinks his company would shut down or go bankrupt without him) forgets to plan a holiday trip in advance.
Mr. B decided looong back that he would keep all holiday destinations, travel-related details and discussions far, far away from me. Reason being, I plan way too much and shop likewise too, before each trip.
According to him, I have a 'What-If' bag 'hidden' somewhere along with my regular baggage, that contains things I would need in case there is an earthquake, volcanic eruption, tsunami, flood, or when a prehistoric dinosaur chases us to a treetop. For all these reasons, he keeps a watchful eye on my packing and planning!!!
Let us start with the trip now......
