Trip to Mumbai

Stevez · 08-17-2012, 05:34 AM

Thanks guys, very much. I appreciate the advice and information. I'm just hoping that I can smoke somewhere outside on the hotel property, but whatever. The only international airport I will be in is Mumbai and if they don't have a duty free shop, I may be out of luck. I'm leaving the 21st of August and coming back on the 30th. Staying at the Rennasaince hotel in Mumbai and will be with several co-workers and I expect pretty busy most of the time. I will try and hit some of the recommended areas and again, thank you. Steve

If you don't have a pre-arranged driver, do not take a cab from the airport, only the bus. The airport is around slums and cab will drop you off in the slum unless you give him all your money... I suggest having a livery waiting for you.

Thanks Moses. I've heard that before and we have a car picking us up that was arranged by our local contact there. We were told not to take taxi's at all. Steve

p.s. heard about the biddies; any concern that smoking those will make you sick like drinking the water will?

This! Also if you can have some in India do all of your booking for you, it will reduce your costs by half if not more.
