Wednesday 3-6-13
Due to some strange planning on my part (or on the travel agents part I think) I had an 8:30 am flight to Delhi. But because of traffic in Chennai, I had to get up at 4:30 in order to be ready for a 5:30 pickup so I’d be at the airport in plenty of time for my flight.
The hotel had set aside a large box of breakfast items for me (the muffins were still warm). I’m certain they do think I’m the IBM liason for the Taj hotels! I got to the airport in plenty of time and worked my way through security (much easier in India) and then tried to nap a little. I didn’t have much luck, so walked around (it’s a very small airport) until it was time to board. The flight was 2 hours and they served a breakfast on board (I don’t even think US planes do that anymore).
After landing, my bags were pretty fast on the carousel and I quickly found my ride to the Sheraton. I ordered up some room service and logged on to finish up some work.
That night I had dinner at the restaurant and an Asian couple sang love songs. They were very good but I was the only one clapping. I think they were singing to me.
It’s off to Agra in the morning to visit the Taj Mahal!
