I'll be in India in a month!

Hello out there ...
I'm planning my first trip to India and have been appreciating all that you've shared ... reading your posts has made me even more excited for my trip!

That being said, your thoughts and advice for my travels are welcome ...
In a month, my mom and I are headed to India for two weeks (I know, not an ideal time of year, nor nearly long enough) -- the "plan" is that we arrive in Delhi and depart from Bombay. We're thinking that we'll stay in Delhi for two days, head to Agra as a day trip, head to Jaipur for a day or two, head back to Delhi and then take off for Bangalore where we'll be visiting my mom's friend. The Bangalore part is completely taken care of. Other than that, things are up in the air at this point. Everyone I've spoken to recommends just playing things by ear however, now that the time is getting closer, my mom is getting a bit nervous and wants to have a more set plan.

Any suggestions for good places to stay in Delhi (moderate range)? Any things we shouldn't miss or shouldn't do for that matter?
I'm open to all thoughts and suggestions!

Thanks in advance! Looking forward to getting to know y'all!

Welcome saraks.. Here is some iunsolicited advise. If you have never been to India spend a little more time doing Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Depending on how susceptible you are to jetlag, you might be useless for the first few days.
