Sadly I am not a secret service agent and only have one passport...

Not sure I'd go back to India to be honest. maybe Kerala and do the Taj Mahal etc, but would rather go other (diving) places first.

oh yes, expensive... to the point where I didn't actually have a high enough credit limit on my credit card to settle the hotel bill after a weeks stay. That was an interesting moment in my life.

Would have thought Moscow was more than a 3-4 hrs flight. Have you visited Prague or Budapest? Both beautiful cities.

Flew in via Amman with Royal Jordanian. Just ask for a removable stamp at passport control in Tel Aviv and they are fine with this, seemed fairly normal to them.

A great atmosphere down on the beach, and some good bars.
