Laura In India

If there is one place on the face of earth where all the dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India.

Dengue Fever Spreads though India and Threatens to Cancel my Trip

The authorities are considering declaring an epidemic, with 11 people dead and more than 2,700 cases in Delhi, there is no mistaking the danger of a serious outbreak of dengue fever in India.

On the up side The Independent had the following comment about tourists planning to visit India:

"Tourists need not cancel their holidays in Delhi yet. At the moment the city is not facing a major outbreak, but it is on alert to prevent one. Every autumn there are cases of dengue in the city, but this year there have been more than usual, and that has the authorities worried."

And with non-refundable tickets all we can do is just wait it out... Keep your fingers crossed!
