[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole thing is giving me anxiety.  If we were staying with family the whole time I would be ok. The 5 days in a hotel is really throwing me because I'm worried about the safety of the food/water.  I'm thinking of canceling.  I wish my family hailed from Italy. [/quote]

Oh, I feel you, OP. But I don't think you need to feel so anxious about the hotel thing. The only times my (Indian) spouse and I have gotten sick during our travels in India have been when we've eaten street food. One of the wonderful things about traveling in India is that (cognitive dissonance aside when it comes to children in great poverty) they tend to adore children and be very, very welcoming of curiosity. Find a good hotel and then tell them of your concerns and ask where you can get freshly prepared, steaming hot food reputably for your toddler. I myself was invited into my hotel's restaurant kitchen to supervise preparation of our meal after asking a few questions about it (right down to which spices and how much I wanted used). Then we were invited to the hotel owner's own home to eat food prepared by his wife.

The mosquitoes are the primary thing that concern me, but none of our friends or relatives' kids have gotten mosquito-borne viruses on their visits and neither have we.[/quote]
