India: Introduction<\/h2>\n

My Paternal Grandfather is an Asian Indian born American; He traveled to the United States of America when he was 18. My grandmother is a typical American and so growing up my dad and aunts were raised, for the most part, as a regular American family. They had very little influence from the Indian culture. Needless to say, I am a born and raised Texan, and not all that much Indian.<\/p>\n

A Long Distance Relationship<\/h2>\n

I lost my maternal Grandfather when I was 13. This opened my eyes to the fact that grandparent\u2019s (at least in my case) are worth spending time with and getting to know. Since about the age of 17, I have been using video chat to keep in contact with my Grandfather who lives in California. Since we don\u2019t get to visit often, this has let me get to know him and have him as a big part of my life. Most of our calls are about things like Apple products and talking about what is new here. What it really did, was show him that I was interested in getting to know him.<\/p>\n

One Last Journey Home<\/h2>\n

I tell you my history so I can tell you about my upcoming trip. This past summer my Grandfather decided that he would like to take one last trip to India before he dies. He isn\u2019t on his death bed or seemingly anywhere near it. He has decided that this is the best time to go, while he is still of sound body and mind.<\/p>\n

A Priceless Trip<\/h2>\n

After he decided he wanted to go, he invited me on the trip. Forgetting the financial standpoint, this is truly a priceless trip. While it is true I would never be able to afford this trip on my own, it is even more priceless because I am going with him. I am going with someone who knows India and will introduce me to family I have never met. I will be able to see a country that is just incredible.<\/p>\n

February 3rd – February 26th <\/sup><\/h2>\n

My Grandfather is funny; when he invited me to go, he told me that it would be a surprise as to where in India we are going and what we are going to be doing. As we have gotten closer to our departure he still wants to keep it a surprise, but like someone who is bad at keeping a secret he keeps sharing pieces about the trip. He wants me to look up the places we are going and I have to say WOW!<\/p>\n

Vlogging and Updating<\/h2>\n

I want to vlog while I am in India but I do not know what my upload ability will be. I am also planning on keeping up with a daily journal of what is happening on our amazing adventure! When I get home I will upload whatever footage I have that I wasn\u2019t able to upload over there.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
