Well, I was pleasantly surprised when the flight from JFK to Delhi was on time. Everything went smoothly until I arrived and went through customs. No one was there from my hotel. Meanwhile, Rick was getting calls from my travel agent saying they were looking for me. I did not see a sign with my name on it, so we must have missed each other. I just didn't feel like dealing with the touts. Sure I was slightly ripped off by the price, but it was cheaper than a year ago, so it wasn't all bad.
The heat. It was over 100 degrees Fahrenheit today, but it didn't feel like it, so I may have missed the worst of it today. My hotel is a dusty, dirty place running along the conduit roads to from the airport. The room itself is fine but three guys carried my luggage and tried for three separate tips. I handed the tip to one and said split it. The key had to be reprocessed to work, but now I am in my room hoping jet lag will not stress me too much tonight. I got a bottle of water and a dreadful chai. I will eat snacks until tomorrow. Tomorrow I grab breakfast at Priyanka's place, with Praveer as well. Thank god for facebook. We got in touch that way.
The street noise is loud, but I believe I can sleep through it.
