I've heard quite a bit about Kerala; I think SQ flies there. Was deciding to visit Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram or Delhi few yrs ago. I opted for Delhi in the end as I wanted to visit the Taj. Well, I think I picked the right choice cause the Taj is magnificent! Agra Fort is equally impressive :)

Hello Shirley,
Thank you so much for this beautiful comment.

It was nice to hear that you have visited India and had plans to visit Kerala too. Well, you are welcome to this southern most part of India, the God's own country anytime :)

Many airlines fly here, Silkair has direct flights to Kochi (Cochin / Ernakulam). So just catch one and relax, njoy your flight, apply loads of sunscreen and we welcome your envoy here, thats it, cool !:)

Tajmahal is a very romantic place ! Hope you had taken plenty of snaps. Post it asap, if you had already posted send me a link.
