New Article
I've had this article almost completed for my site for a couple of weeks, but have been so busy I forgot about it. Titled Why Send My Child to Woodstock School?, it may be of interest even though everyone here has obviously already made that decision. I'd be curious to know why, though...
Shoe Recommendations
Apparently my daughter isn't the only one in the group with a shoe fetish ; ) so, in case it's useful to anyone else, here's what I have recommended to her about shoes to take:
First, be aware that Mussoorie is a harsh environment for clothing - if the monsoon is particularly fierce, shoes can get moldy sitting in a closet! So you don't want to bring any really expensive or delicate clothing.
I have suggested the following to Ross:
Rubber chappals are very useful to have, but you can easily buy them in Mussoorie. Same goes for flashlights.

I have suggested the following to Ross:
- one pair of heels for fancy occasions, but not your nicest ones, and preferably something you have some hope of being able to walk in on a steep hillside path
- several pairs of shoes that are comfortable for walking, including hiking boots, and more than one pair of sneakers.
- since they'll be there for much of the winter than we ever were, warm boots are probably indicated - Uggs, maybe? (bring the spray to waterproof them)
- a pair of dressy flats
- warm slippers for the dorms
- flat sandals, possibly dressy. You can also buy these in Delhi - Indian women, and men for that matter, wear sandals for much of the year, and, given the climate, dressy sandals are acceptable for most fancy occasions. You can also get the famous "Roman sandals" or "Woodstock sandals" made in Mussoorie - unisex, sturdy, and comfortable, a Woodstock tradition since I don't know when.
- Crocs

luggage sizes
I have looked at the Air India website for allowable sizes and weights for both carry on and checked baggage and have found different sizes and weights in different locations on the website.
Does anyone know what the allowable sizes and weights actually are?
Thanks,
Ellen
