<div style="text-align: center;">
Diwali vacations were approaching and I wanted to utilise these two
weeks rather than sitting at home, getting bored by doing household
chores and trying numerous ways to keep my little one engaged. When the
little one is at home, I just cant do any productive work like reading a
book, working on my laptop etc. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As my husband was busy with work and traveling, I decided to take a trip
with my 3 year old son. The thought of traveling with kids is enough to
make you sit at home and regret the days lost. I challenged myself to
take this trip as it will be a kind of experiment with Agniv as I will
know how to keep him entertained/occupied and the difficulties that
comes our way which will help me `in preparing our next trip. The fear
of what if they….will not let you travel.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Agniv has shown keen interest in traveling in whichever mode of
transport we have taken. He observes his surroundings, enjoys watching
what is happening around him. Kids at this age can`t be at one place
even for a minute, so I keep him engaged by talking to him about
everything and anything happening around us. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to visit Pondicherry. Pondicherry officially known as
Puducherry, is the capital and the most populous city of the Indian
Union Territory. Though a very small, it was the largest French colony
in India and the city has a long and interesting history of trade and
war. Did all the bookings well in advance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two weeks before traveling, I prepared a list of items to carry in my
handbag and what to pack in the suitcase. Flying with kids could be
disastrous if you don’t plan and prepare in advance and you can`t travel
light with kids. The handbag mostly had Agniv`s stuff like: water
bottle, coloring book with crayon colors, few toys (1 or 2 new
toys),cloth towel, extra set of clothes, hand sanitizer, old newspaper,
snacks in different small containers, tissue paper, paper bag, spoon,
straw, stole etc. (I prefer a backpack over shoulderbag) Planning and
making a checklist of items to carry has always helped me in taking a
trip.</div>

<i><b>Day 1:</b></i><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our flight was at 7.25 in the morning from Mumbai to Chennai which would take around 2 hours. The day before traveling I didn’t let Agniv sleep in the afternoon (he sleeps in the afternoon after coming from school for about 1.5 -2 hours). As he didn’t sleep in the afternoon he went to sleep at around 7 in the evening. On the day of our journey, I got up early, took bath, made breakfast, packed some snacks. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Took some effort to wake up Agniv. His father had to wake up also who just came at night from Guwahati.</div>

I have been telling this to Agniv since quite a few days that we will be
traveling on a plane soon. Agniv already had experience of flying and
was excited to get into a plane. Few minute after takeoff he went off to
sleep and got up just before landing. And I was sooo.....happy, what
else do u need? After reaching Chennai airport we took a cab to PMBT(bus
station)and from there we took a bus to Pondicherry. The bus ride took
almost 4 hours. Agniv enjoyed his bus ride,looking out of the window,
munching on some snacks. He slept for an hour also then he kept popping
through the window and would ask me every 15 minutes is the bus ride
over?</div>

We reached at around 3.30 in the afternoon, checked into the hotel, freshened up, had our food and after that we stepped out to explore the nearby places. Google map was our constant companion. Our first visit was to a nearby café called ZUKA CakeShop. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before commencing this journey, I checked where is the hotel located, which are the nearby cafes and restaurants, how far are the tourist places from the hotel with reviews online. I ordered one Hot-chocolate after reading the reviews online. They served in a tiny cup of coffee with 2 pieces of chocolate block and one spoon made from chocolate. Never seen or had chocolate spoon before. Agniv was looking at me with amazement when I took a bite of the spoon. </div>

From there we went to Sunday bazaar, which was at a walking distance. It
is flocked by locals and tourists who come here to buy the wide range
of products which are available at very affordable rates. Didn’t spend
much time here as there was nothing of my interest and market was very
crowded. We hardly spent around 30 minutes and from there we headed
towards Xtasi café. Heard so much about this place online. Cant afford
to miss visiting this place. Ordered one woodfire pizza. After a long
time I had an amazing pizza. Agniv also enjoyed his share of Pizza. It
was an early dinner for us as I was tired and sleepy and I wanted Agniv
to get proper sleep and rest so that he won`t get cranky the next day.
It is very important to get proper rest to children and better to sleep
early and set out early the next day. Walked down to the hotel and went
to sleep at 8 o`clock.</div>

After Agniv got up, took him for bath, got dressed and we were all set for the day. Agniv was very excited and I was praying everything to move smoothly. After breakfast at a local road side restaurant we took an Auto for the day, which was waiting outside tourist information center.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our first stop was <b>at Aruimigu Manakula Vinayagar Temple</b>, a traditional Hindu Temple dedicated to Lord Ganapati. My auto rickshawala Mr.Murugan guided me through the temple, explaining me about all the deities placed there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From there I went to <b>Auribindo Ashram</b> which was nearby only, the favourite tourist destination. Though Agniv was about to turn 3 they didn’t allow him inside as kids below 3 years are not allowed. I left Agniv with Mr.Murugan (I took a risk here) and quickly finished off. I wanted to spent more time here but, may be next time. I was worried for Agniv and came out in 10 mins. And there he was with Mr. Murugan, such a relief.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From there we headed towards Auroville. The main attraction here is the "<b>Matrimandir".</b> After reaching Matrimandir a shaded 10-12 minute walk leads from the Visitors' Center to the Viewing Point. A free electric shuttle service is available for those who may find it difficult to walk the approx. 1 km distance each way. Free bus service is available for the return journey from the Viewing Point to the Visitors Center for all those who wish to avail of it. We took the shuttle services. We spent about 45 minutes there looking at the dome covered by golden discs, reflecting sunlight. Clicked some pics, went to the washroom and refilled our water bottles.</div>

From here we went to a local restaurant for lunch and then to paradise
beach. Agniv went off to sleep after lunch and I had to carry him till
the booking counter for boat ride. He woke up before getting on the
boat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Paradise Beach</b> is situated in Chunnambar, close to Pondicherry town. The beach is very clean with beautiful view. The boat house Is the entry point to the beach. The tourism department runs the cruise with capacity of about 15-20 passengers with the interval of 30 minutes. It takes about 15-20 minutes to reach the beach from the boat house. The cost per person both ways is Rs 300. Agniv was enjoying this ride with beautiful back water all along.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ended the day`s tour after visiting The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Eglise de Notre Dame des Anges and Immaculate Conception Cathedral. Mr.Murugan dropped us near Rock beach. Did some shopping at Handicraft Emporium.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For some quick snack we stopped at Lecafe which is located overlooking
the beach. Great location with options to sit outside and inside. After
spending an hour around rock beach we headed back to our hotel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What an eventful day it was and I am surprised to see that Agniv enjoyed more than me and he didn’t trouble me at all.</div>

After having breakfast at a local restaurant, we went to see the museum which was closed yesterday. The museum is especially noted for its collection of fine lost wax bronzes form the period of the Chola Empire.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Museum's collection includes 81 Chola bronze sculptures, ranking as one of the largest collections of Chola bronzes. We spent around 15 minutes there and from there went to bharti park. Bharti govt. park is at a walking distance from the museum in white town. A good place to sit and relax in the midst of mother nature. This park is surrounded by Government Hospital, Pondicherry Private Club, the Legislative Assembly and Lt. Governor's Palace. From there we walked down, exploring the by-lanes of white town, visited 2-3 shops, enjoying a stroll.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We slept for some time then in the evening I decided to visit Indian
coffee house for some quick snacks. The place was packed, but we managed
to find one table at a corner. Its a restaurant chain in India, run by a
series of worker co-operative societies. It has strong presence across
India with nearly 400 coffee houses. Our day ended with an evening
stroll along the wide pavement of rocky beach, followed by dinner at
Café Xtchi.</div>

The next day we took a bus back to Chennai and from Chennai to Mumbai we flew down With that our trip came to end and I am so glad I took this trip with Agniv.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What i learned from this trip is that the key ingredients to a smooth vacation when traveling with your little ones are to pay attention to their needs. Kids can adjust to any situation very easily provided there is right balance between rest time and activities. Now I am very confident to take up any trip with just two of us.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
My husband and myself love to travel on any given day. After traveling to different places in India and US between Nov to Feb(4 months)
including visits to our native places in Assam (including some solo trips ), it
was time to take rest.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And within a month I conceived. I guess traveling helped
my<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>mind and body to relax, as were
trying hard for last one year for a baby, followed by a miscarriage.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My pregnancy went smoothly and we had a lovely baby boy.
Life became roller-coaster ride for us. But the travel bug was crawling inside
me<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and pinching me from time to time.
Travel bug doesn’t come and go, it resides permanently inside you.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I desperately needed a break from the daily routine. Oopss
did I say daily routine? Daily routine doesn’t change whether<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>you are at home or on a vacation, when you have
a baby.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our son was approaching his 1<sup>st</sup> birthday, and 10
days after that we had to leave for for our native place in Assam. Before going
home, we took a short 3 days trip to Goa.</div>

One week before our trip, I introduced my son to formula
milk (he didn’t have outside milk before). So in public places , I don’t have
to cover him<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>or look for secluded place

I even made a checklist of items like his daily essentials

what.</div>

I tried to maintain his schedule, which includes his meal
time and nap time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One the day our our journey our flight was schedule to
depart at 4.30 in the evening from Mumbai airport. Our son got up at his usual time
in the morning, had breakfast, played for some time, took bath and went to
sleep. While he was sleeping we had our lunch, washed the utensils, got ready
and everything was done. In the mean time he also got up, dressed him, breastfeed-ed him and we were ready to leave for the airport.</div>

After checking in he had a banana. At this age they need to
eat something at a gap of 2-3 hours. We still had time for boarding. Before
boarding the flight I prepared his formula milk which he had during take off.
And he slept and got up just before we landed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We had a nice time together, though most of the time my
concern was, whether he is enjoying or not, is he hungry or sleepy? .</div>

What I understood from this trip at this age is that, we

all have a memorable vacation.</div>

My husband and myself left for Halong Bay from Hanoi in the
morning. We had no idea about this place before. The trip was arranged by Mrs
Ha Thao –sales and Marketing manager of Joy Journey Hotel,our place of stay in
Hanoi. And we are so grateful to them for suggesting us this trip. I guess a
trip to Vietnam would have been incomplete,if one does not visit Halong Bay.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Halong bay is 4hours drive from the city of Hanoi. The
consists of a dense cluster of some 1600 limestone monolithic islands each
topped with thick jungle vegetation, rising<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>from the ocean and is one of Asia`s vast spectacular wonders.
Designated a World Heritage site in 1994,it<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>is a vision of ethereal beauty and northern Vietnam`s number one tourism
hub.</div>
