A big thanks to all!

For most part, our 10,000 km in 18 days road trip was a dream. It would have been impossible to do this road trip, without the support of our friends and relatives - who helped us immensely at every step. I would like to thank one and all. In particular, we are greatly thankful to:

• Arun Uncle: For helping us with route planning, GPS and motivating us all the way through with his daily phone calls enquiring if we were on the right track. While we were on the road, uncle also kept a track of news alerts, flood alerts, etc to keep us updated. A very big thanks!
• Romit Mama for helping us a lot while we were struggling to find our way from Sri Ganganagar to Manali and on the return journey, helping us with the best route to bye-pass Delhi.
• Tshering for helping us a lot with on the ground situation in Sikkim - helped us in a very big way - we would have otherwise gone and probably gotten stuck in Sikkim. A big thanks for genuinely helping us.
• Phuphaji for giving us a very clear idea about the road condition between Manali and Leh - it really helped us a lot, otherwise we would have been caught by an unpleasant surprise
• K and Mak for helping us for helping us find a smart way to get from Pune expressway to Baroda side highway, without getting stuck in Mumbai traffic.
• Prabhat Tauji for helping us with the route around Kanpur and Delhi
• Babboo Chacha and Chachi for keeping regular track of us and motivation through the trip
• To our friends (Latcha, Singapore gang, etc) for their constant motivation
• ... and to all those who are reading this blog and commenting on our posts :-)

.... and the list goes on and on and on... goes to show how much we have been helped in making this rather impossible trip possible. Thanks a lot!
