Travel agent tips.

We talked to the travel agent a week or so ago. It turns out that we will flip our itinerary and do the north of India (the golden triangle) first and end in the south because flights from Thailand to the south of India go through Delhi and we can have a stop-over for free!

The other thing we decided to do is take the train from Beijing to Hong Kong, and then on to Hanoi, Vietnam. It is a two day train ride, but with sleeper rooms it should be kind of an adventure.

We also asked about accomodations, particularly in Beijing, Bangkok, and Mysore. Most travel agents specialize only in hotels, not appartments or condos. He did have some contacts so I'm hoping we will get something out of that.
