Delhi to Kanyakumari..as you realize this is more of a trip of the day than place of the day...my ideal trip would be to fly into Delhi, stay couple days, see the sights, and eat the food mostly, then get on the train and not get off for twooo daaays!  As a child I would travel in the general or sleeper cars, but this trip, I think I'd like to go 1ac or first class!  I will miss the open window, the noise from the tracks below, the wind in my face when I would get to sit next to the window! However, I'm old now and I need certain comforts! Once I get to Kanyakumari, Id meet up with Lynn, stay at a resort for a week or ten days, and then fly back from trivandrum (I can't spell the actual name, how British colonial of me) Good site: https://www.prokerala.com/maps/india/indian-railway-map.htm?amp=1 Tickets: www.12goasia.com

Alaska route 11, or Dalton highway...400 miles to the edge of the Arctic ocean, passing over the Yukon river, through the Alaskan national park and wildlife reserve, past the 66 latitude marking the Arctic circle and up to Deadhorse, in prudhoe bay. Holy cow what a trip this would be.
