I'm here!!!

well everyone...I'M HERE!!!! It only took 43 hours, but I'm here. That's right, it's not a typo, 43 LOOOOOONG HOURS of sitting on planes and waiting in airports. My flight left from San Francisco at 1:00 pm and headed for Seoul, Korea. It was an 11 hour flight, I slept for more than half of it of course!!  We were in the airport for about an hour before we hopped back on the plan bound for Singapore.

Now here's the killer.....ready for it?? My layover in Singapore was 19 HOURS!!!! Yea that's almost half of my travel time spent on the ground not going anywhere. Luckily there was a lot to do in the airport in Singapore. I was able to Skype with the fam, watch a movie at the theater, eat some good chicken bao, visit e butterfly garden and take a tour of the city! The tour was a great way to kill time. The tour bus left directly from the airport and took us downtown and Chinatown where they were decorating for Chinese New Year. Gong Hay Fat Choy!!!! After some good ole fashion waiting and exploring it was finally time to board the plane, by this time it was 8pm (4am back home.)

Finally I arrived in India! P.C. Varghese, my contact and host was at the airport waiting for me right on time. He brought me to his home where I met his daughter Maria and wife Remani. We stayed up and talked,they fed me cup of noodle and finally allowed me to go to sleep. I must say the long travel time was worth being in home with good people and a pillow to lay my head.
