Speaking of long distance driving, anybody else on this list read the new
Dominique Lapierre book "Once upon a time in the soviet union"?
Lapierre, another Paris Match reporter and their wives (all in their mid
20s at the time - 1950s) and a soviet journalist & his wife, did a 13000
road trip across khruschev's russia, in a Simca.
It is a fun read.

I've never been to India, but I have some advice: Do it.
Long-distance point-to-point driving is an experience unlike any
other. I've been across large parts of Canada on four separate
occasions, and a day or two in, you get into an altered state of
consciousness that I think is very special. -Tim
