We are all home from India!

The four of us left our hotel about 12:30am Tuesday morning. We had no real problems at the airport... just the many different lines (or queueueus... or however they spell "cue", which means "line that moves ever so slowly" in British)... our flight to Dubai left about 1/2 hour late... but three of us (sorry, Glen) got a free upgrade to Business class! As soon as the wheels left the ground, we had our chairs stretched out full length and I know I only woke up to eat breakfast and when the wheels touched down in Dubai.

In Dubai, we had enough time to wander and get a few Dubai-ese trinkets before taking off to SFO, again about 1/2 hour late--no upgrade for this flight, although I did offer to switch with a guy who wanted to turn down his upgrade so he could sit with his family in economy. The flight was long and uneventful.

Here is how to spend 16 hours: watched "The Wrestler", ate breakfast, slept for 4 hours, watched "The Devil Wears Prada," "He's Just Not That Into You," & "Gran Torino", ate lunch, read and stared blankly ahead for 3 more hours... the guy sitting next to me must have a bladder as big as an elephant because he only got up once in 16 hours... not me that's for sure!

Upon arrival at SFO, we passed through Immigration and then waited forever for our bags (forever is relative when needing to make a connection to continue the journey). I gave my one tag to Dan. We had checked two boxes filled with Hindi language Bibles and they were taking forever to arrive. I left the other three waiting for the Bibles and headed through Customs and off to the Delta counter to check in for my next two flights... at this point, I will assume they got the Bibles, got Glen's pick-up started, and made in home to Paso with no further problems...

My flight to Salt Lake was quick and easy. I then had about 2 hours to enjoy a couple Whoppers from Burger King and a cup of Starbucks coffee (it ain't Indian, but...). The flight to Hailey was also uneventful. It sure was good to see Zane and Mallory and Wendy!!

Back in the day, radio stations used to play "Two-fer-Tuesdays"... I think we had a "Two-fer-Tuesday" yesterday because, if my math is near correct, the day about 36 hours in it... talk about a long day... but definitely worth it!

Now it is time to catch up on some game playing with Zane... more posts reflecting on the trip will be forthcoming of the next few days...
