Delhi at last!!
After what promised to be a grueling trip that turned out to be an ordeal that tested both my patience and nerves I have finally arrived in Delhi!!
Yesterday was so tediously horrendous that all I can do now is just laugh (but you should have seen me at about 7:25PM yesterday!).
First I got up at 3:30 to catcha 5:20 flight to nearby Houston. On the way, mother nature struck- thunder, lightning, rain. Houston airport shut down and we were diverted to Beaumont (where the heck is that?). They deplaned us and told us to collect our luggage and head to the bus (that had not yet come!!!). I rallied with another girl and rented a car and drove 2 hours through pouring rain in order to reach Houston in time to catch a connecting flight that MIGHT get me to Newark in time for my Delhi flight. It worked! I rechecked my bags, and rushed through security to get on the standby flight for Newark. GOT ON! Flight was delayed 2.5 hours. Yikes. Got to Newark just as they boarded Delhi flight. Flight was delayed 2 hours. My bags did not make it- nobody seems to know where they are!!!
Now I am here. Happy to be here worried about the bags! Please all chants some baggage mantras for me, just make up your own. I am sure it will work!!!!
Anyway, Delhi is great. Hot, steamy, polluted and FULL of life! Ahhhh India!
Love to all!
