Trip to India – Jan 2019

The Arrangements Have Been Made

Imagine being 25 years old with a young bride and departing from Boston’s Fulton Dock on the 8th day of June 1818. Dr. and Mrs. John Scudder began a four (4) month journey to Calcutta, and on to Colombo, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). The rest is history as they say.

A trip has been arranged to travel to India in January 27th through February 1st, 2019 to celebrate the 200th Anniversary to the start of our story. The weather in Southern India in December and January is delightful. We will be posting stories from our travelers next year, so check back in February 2019

We are looking forward to a wonderful trip,
