In a couple hours, the four of us will go back to the Christian Media Centre for one last get-together/ dedication/ farewell. Then we will finish packing, settle our hotel bills, and get ready to head to the airport at about 1am.

As you know from the first group's trip home last week, the airport in Chennai can be interesting (we do all have itineraries with our name on them, so we should be able to enter the airport, at least!). At least their delay was only 2 hours and the flight did take off... yesterday's flight (Sunday) was delayed 7 hours (with no communication from the airline or airport) before being cancelled.

According to today's paper, there are tighter restrictions causing more planes to be held for "minor technical issues." I think "minor technical issues" are like "minor surgery"... it is minor when it is your plane with the issue... but major when it is my plane with the issue...

PRAY that our plane has none of these "minor technical issues"!
PRAY that we have a completely uneventful trip home!
