It was a long day yesterday, mainly waiting in the airports, but the flights all went as expected and it was very easy. We boarded the flight to Delhi in New York around 8 pm and we flew for about 14 hours. A little dinner, movie, and then sleep! It was easy. However, I was awoken in the middle of the night by a woman screaming. She was having a heart attack or panic attack. She was an elderly lady and a doctor was called to help her. It all turned out okay, but just heartbreaking to hear her. Hubert slept through it, which was good as he might have tried to pretend he was a doctor and try to help out!!!!! :):):)

Once we arrived in Delhi, we went through customs. It was fairly easy and everyone was very nice. As soon as we got our bags and walked through the gates, there was a man with Amber tours holding our names up. It was very easy. He grabbed and bags and we got in his car. However, first he presented us with flower leis and said “welcome to India.” By this time, it was 11:00 pm Wednesday night, so we drove to the Claridges Hotel in New Delhi to check in. At check-in, they presented us with fresh guava juice and a lady came over wiht a tray of rose petals and a small bowl with red paste. She said this is a traditional Indian welcome and she put a red dot on our forehead! The hotel is very elegant and clean. Our room is huge and it felt so good to be here. We ate some snacks and then went to bed as we have a busy day ahead of us!

Namaste!
