Congratulations! Your itinerary sounds great. I'm glad you found a way to see the Taj Mahal before getting Lia. I'd definitely recommend seeing where Gandhi stayed in Delhi on your second trip there, but then I'm sure you'll find a driver to show you the sites. Blessings on the travel and your first days with Lia! We look forward to meeting her!
