   Happy anniversary!
   26 countries, 6 continents and 1 visit to the doctor - awesome! Happy and safe travels both of you. Have fun!
   Oh and the next time you visit India make sure to go to the southern state of Kerala - Kovalam (beaches), Thekkady (elephants and spices), Munnar (tea, tea, tea), Alleppey (backwaters) and while you’re at it, visit Kanyakumari (the southern most tip of India).
