And we're off...


Security was redicullous. They took my toothpaste and fancy cream. Whatevs.


I am blogging from over the Atlantic ocean right now. Luftansa has Internet! Being online while on a plane is certainly a first for me. As was taking off in a huge plane while reclined. It really felt like I was floating in air.

We just had dinner, and most of the plane is falling asleep. The flight crew keeps talking to me in German. I had the 'shrimps' with scallops.


Off to watch some TV on DVD, and put together my presentation materials.

Heading out to the airport in a minute...but just came from a nice walk thru Union Square with Ms. Susie. She told me that there is a statue of Mr. Ghandi in the park, something I haven't seen in the almost 2 years of living so close. So we stopped to take a picture.
I land in Bangalore 10 minutes before his birthday, a national holiday in India.

I can not wait to go to India.
It's down to the wire. Still need another shot, grab a few things and pack.
I take off at 6 PM on Saturday, and land in India at midnight Sunday after a 6 hour layover in Germany.

Check out this video from Indian TV. Hilarious.

This blog will document my travels to India for work, and hopefully a trip to Japan. I just had the passport photos for the visa done, and am getting shots on Friday. I leave for India on October 1, and just found out about this exciting trip this morning.

Oh, what an adventure.
