I'm sitting in a dark hotel room waiting for our guide to arrive at 9 AM for our first day of tours. Its dark because enrique has decided to try to sleep for 30 minutes before the guide arrives. We woke really early because of the jetlag and had breakfast (cornflakes) at 7 AM. I'm sitting up and not napping because guess what happened for the first time in two years!!?? I got a nose bleed! Awesome timing. So I am sitting upright with toilet papcer crammed in my nostril.
Warning: I'm typing on my blackberry so excuse my typos.
So our flight out of Chicago was pretty eventful. First it was delayed an hour because the plane wasn't ready. Then it was delayed another hour after we had boarded because they had problems shutting the cargo doors. That's pretty important since we didn't want our bags to fall out over afganistan or iran. Finally we are all set to go and the flight crew decides that this toddler up near the front of our section is too sick to fly. His mom throws a fit when they tell them they have to leave the plane. I felt bad but the kid was really ill and it wasn't good for him or anyone else for him to be on a 15 hour flight. So finally the airline doctor convinces them to get off the plane and then they have to get back into the difficult cargo doors to find their 3 pieces of luggage out of the hundreds of bags under the plane. We finally left about 3 hours late. But besides all of that, the flight was pretty good believe it or not. They sped up or found a good tradewind and we made it to Delhi only an hour later than we should have. And I slept pretty about 10 hours of the flight. We haven't seen much yet since it was 1 AM when we landed.
Well, my fingers are getting tired since I'm posting this morning from my blackberry so I will go now! Hope everyone is doing well back home. I will post more soon as possible, preferably from a real computer!
Love, Meagan and Enrique
