Dear David,
I hope you are doing great. I am very excited about your India trip and equally thrilled to have you at my home. I am literally jumping with joy that our once classroom discussion on your India trip is finally happening. Unfortunately, I will not be home on 24th May as I am travelling to Tirupathi on a Pilgrimage trip with my family and will be back only on 26th May.
I am looking forward to have you at home any time after 26th May and we can spend your rest of the vacation together. I have already planned on all the places I want to show you like my school, college and that are dear to me. My parents have already planned feast for you and we can cook all my mother's and Grandmother's recipes under their supervision.
I hope you have a great flight and excite to see you soon.
Thanks,
Mary
