October 24/25 – Fly to India


Today we depart from our visit with family in downstate Illinois and head to Chicago to catch our flight to India.  

The day started before dawn and by the time we hit the road we had a spectacular sunrise.  Great way to start the day.

The five-hour drive was pretty uneventful and we made it to the airport with plenty of time to spare.  Because we are flying business class (on Mary’s frequent flier miles) we were able to hang out in the Polaris Long.  Very nice. 

We flew first to Newark NJ where we had a three hour layover hanging out in the lounge and then it was on to the plane for the 14 hour flight to Delhi India.  Our seats fully reclined into beds and we were both able to get a reasonable amount of sleep. 

We arrived in Delhi a little late, all the luggage arrived (yeah!) and we were met by Shyam, Tara’s business manager in India.  By the time we arrived at the hotel it was nearly midnight.  We both crashed and slept really well all night.
