Hi sounds great. Could you tell us perhaps your route and how daily life is travelling with 5 kids- different opinion, how many rooms etc. also if you don't mind how much you would spend in in a average day.
Thanks

My family leaves on a one-year RTW trip in June (myself, my wife and 8-yr-old daughter). We will be in India from Nov. through January. We plan to start at the Pushkar Camel Festival, and also spend time in Delhi, Bombay and Goa. Any suggestions for places to visit that are interesting for kids/families would be welcome, as well as tips on getting around... When you traveled with your five children, did you take trains or buses, or did you fly within the country? We will have about 8 weeks total, and are trying to get by on a moderate/low budget.
