For 10 years, Heather Graham has dreamed of traveling to India on a journey for enlightenment. But a funny thing happened to her on the way to nirvana...
Heather Graham is sitting wearily on a camel, about to embark on a safari into a remote desert of western India. Her eyelids are heavy. She's slightly slumped in her saddle. And she can comfort herself with only one thought: At this point, the trip can only get better.
So far, Heather has taken nine flights, traveling about 20,000 miles across 11 time zones. She has survived a harrowing eight-hour bus trip that brought her within 50 miles of India's tense Pakistani border. Her vaccination shots have made her sick; a series of 4am wake-up calls have made her sicker. And yesterday, the U.S. State Department warned that terrorists might be planning attacks on U.S. citizens in this region of India.
Somewhere in America, there's a travel agent who deserves to be fired.
Then just as it seems things can't get any worse the camels in our safari begin to, well, pass gas. Heather's camel is the last in the line. This is not exactly the place to be when the camels commence farting. Heather crinkles her nose, rolls her eyes and asks herself, "Why did I want to go to India again?"
