We made it to New Delhi!!

Nearly 24 hours after leaving Denver, we have arrived at our hotel, The Manor, in New Delhi. It was actually a great trip, and we're feeling pretty good right now. The roughest spot was right in the middle during our layover in London. We didn't sleep much on that first flight from Denver, and by the time we were just sitting waiting for our gate we felt pretty much like this:


I wanted to write while in London, but couldn't get an internet connection, so I wrote the following in my journal. This will be transcribed word for word to accurately capture the moment in which I wrote it.... "...Speaking of London, we just spent $19.00 on a 3/4 full, small fruit drink, a muffin, and a sandwich. Maybe it's just being in an airport that makes it so expen.... (pen trails off)... huh? Oh, flying makes you feel like a million bucks, which by the time you get to London is worth under 500,000 bucks. Security is obviously tight because they got out the little plastic spikes and put them up right outside the window..."


Once we got a few 15 minute power naps each we were ready to fly onward. Our plane boarded right on time, and after a nice meal of chicken curry and a little "Blades of Glory" on our personal Entertainment unit, we actually got a few hours of good sleep on the flight to Delhi. We were in an exit row with lots of leg room, so it was very comfy. :-)

So, here we are in Delhi. It's really amazing. The driver that picked us up from the airport said it was the first morning to see the sun in 4 days. We're right in the monsoon season, so everything is so green and lush! We're staying at a beautiful little hotel in the New Friends Colony area of Delhi, and are about ready for a little rest. We'll get some pictures of Delhi either later today or when we're back next week, so never fear, you'll get to see it too!
