"Hi everyone I'm Russ Handler and I love to travel. I'm sure you do as well. Did you know India, as beautiful of a country as it is, it's also known for a lot of heat, a lot of dry dust in the air, and lots of pollution. So if you're going to be traveling there, I'm going to suggest you try loose fitting, cotton clothes. In some cases I do not suggest sandals, but definitely loose fitting, dry garments for your trip to India. Now there are a couple basics you, you're going to want to bring with you. A hat, comfortable shoes, I do not recommend exposing your feet to the elements there, swim wear just in case you've got a nice swimming pool where you're staying, guide books are always helpful, lots of sunscreen in India, it's always hot, at times, very hot and the sun can be strong. Bring a camera, film, toiletries and a jacket should, a very light jacket should it get a little bit cool in the evening time. Now I could also tell you, a lot of people, the first thing that they say is, "I'm bringing a lot of water". You can buy bottled water in India. I suggest if you try to pack it yourself, you're very likely to have a very heavy piece of luggage. I'm Russ Handler, and that's how it's done."
