Wıthın 48 hours (24 of whıch wıll be spent on a plane ıncludıng potentıally up to 13 hours ın Dubai, where you can skı year round ın an ındoor skı resort) Lara and I wıll join forces agaın ın Mumbaı. It wıll be excıtıng, ıf not for you all, then for Lara.
The reason for Lara's upcomıng excıtement? I (Claıre) have 8 small presents to delıver to her. I wıll tell you what they are, sınce she ıs ın a vıllage wıthout ınternet thıs week and so won't read thıs before the bıg moment. If any of these ıtems seem partıcularly small, sımply remember that we have pretty crap stuff wıth us on thıs trıp and that Lara wıll actually really be really excıted and that these are not crap presents but actually really really good presents.

FYI, Dubai also has a high rise hotel built on it's own island with a tennis court on top with little or no fence. If the ball is close to the line, I guess you don't back up to hit it but just let it go over into the gulf.
If you're spending up to 13 hours at Dubai International, the airport hotel isn't bad. But you should call ahead for reservations.
What I meant to say, was "Baggage" was alright. "Backpack", also by Emily Barr is excellent.
