All Around the World

We had quite an eventful and frustrating trip home. It started early Thursday morning (India time) with a cancelled flight, then again early Friday morning with a another cancelled flight, and finally late, late Friday night we were able to fly out. We spent many hours standing in line and arguing with British Airway employees. But on the bright side, we got to spend an extra day and half in India.

Our trip home took us from Hyderabad to Bangkok, from Bangkok to Tokyo, from Tokyo to Chicago, and from Chicago to Indianapolis. We walked into our house Saturday night (or should I say Sunday morning) at around 12:30am. Only 50 hours later than we were supposed to be home. We got lucky and got business class seats (which were amazing) from Bangkok to Tokyo and 1st class seats from Chicago to Indy...all thanks to British Airways! In just a little over 2 weeks we circled the entire world. :)

To top off our crazy trip home, one of our bags didn't make it to Indianapolis from Chicago. Of course, it's the one with all of our gifts. Booo! We have high hopes that it will be delivered to us sometime this week. Cross your fingers for us. Looking at the upside of this, Delta airlines is awarding us some travel vouchers for the inconvenience--looks like I will get a flight home to Minnesota during my spring break in March!!! :)

Now, it's back to work/reality tomorrow. I'm suffering with jet lag and lack of sleep BIG TIME!! Abhay is doing alright. I'll take it one day at a time...
