I'm re-reading journal entries from my first month here. This entry's title comes from an electronic journal entry from Oct 28th, 2010, the day I arrived in India
On that day, I arrived. My baggage did not. During those few days I was staying at the Centaur Hotel, making at least a half dozen trips to and from the airport, moving like a ping pong ball between airline offices (American Airlines and Air India) - during that period of time I was focusing to get my baggage. During those blessed days at the Centaur my entries had plenty of profanity.
"34 hours to get from MPLS toDelhi
96hrs (at least) before my fist shower.
56hrs and counting until I get my bags..."
Little did I know it would be approximately 350 hours until I would finally receive my baggage :)
Thankfully, I'm not feeling that way anymore. How could I feel anything but grateful, anticipating the massive T-day feast - apparently there are going to be 6 varieties of potatoes. 'bout 41 hours until the feast begins!
Most Christmas calendars have 25 days on them right? As my dad recently mentioned in his recent email, I'm only 25 days from MN. Inspired by X-mas Calendars then, I think I'm going to have a daily entry until I’ve touched down in B-town. This task seems doable, but we'll see how long I can keep it going :)
