Had it been not for her husband, who is from India and few of her Indian friends in USA, Kerala still would have been a place unheard of, says Ms. Lois Kitchner from USA. 

This is her second visit to India, and Ms. Lois made it a point to visit Kerala. "A delightful experience", says Ms. Lois, who was all praise for the Kerala community, which she reckons as the best she had come across during her visits to different parts of the world. The hospitality of Keralites is simply tremendous, something that Ms. Lois would remember for a long time.

As an upcoming destination, Ms. Lois feels that the people here are awesome compared to other parts of India. She recollects some of her visits to places of historic importance like the Basilica of St. Francis in Kochi as a very good experience. 

Before winding up her maiden visit to Kerala, Ms. Lois has plans to do a bit of backwater cruising, dining on a houseboat, and visits to some tea plantations and to enjoy beautiful sunsets in Kochi.
