I first went to India, New Dehli, in August 2001. I loved it! I’ve always wanted to go back and I had to the chance this year to go to Mumbai.
I did the typical tourist things one does while in Mumbai.
Elephanta Caves, Gateway of India, Taj Hotel, Gandi Residence, Dhobi Gant, getting a glimpse of the Dabbawalla’s.
But dare I say the best part of this trip? The MANGO’s, Alphonso mango’s to be precise. I broke my first rule of international travel, which is to avoid fruit and vegetables that may have been washed in water that you are not supposed to drink. These mango’s were so worth breaking the rule
Did I mention that I loved the mango’s????
While Mumbai was enjoyable, I am not sure that I would go back again, its possible if I were in transit but not for days of touring around.
Where did Flo go? 
I think I will love Alphonso Mango’s too!!!
If new to India, would you recommend Dehli or Mumbai for a first visit?
New Delhi because you could do the Golden Triangle. Then I would head down to Mumbai for a day or two before heading to Goa for some relaxation.
