We're in India!

We made it!!! It's been a LONG journey! We didn't cross the North Bend bridge to Portland until 8:30 pm Thursday night after the boys' baseball games. We arrived at our hotel a little before 1:00am. Our wake up call was at 5:00am and we were off to the airport by 5:40. It was smooth sailing from there - everything has gone PERFECT - so far anyway. Our flight from Portland to New Jersey was about 4 hours - then we had a 41/2 hour wait for our next flight to New Delhi, India. We boarded at 7:40 East Coast time - and we flew for 14 hours straight!!! Wow!!! Each seat had our own tv on the back of the seat in front of us, and we each got to choose our own movies we wanted to watch - never had that option before - especially free of charge! Ok, not free, we're paying for it in our ticket - but it was nice. I watched Slumdog Millionaire - thought that was appropriate! We were trying to envision what it would be like having Kahlia on the way home - the visions were'nt going well - honestly that's one of my biggest stressers right now!!!

I'm already having issues with the food - not liking it so much, we'll see how the day goes tomorrow. We were one of the last to get our luggage, and Rajeev met us right outside of baggage claim. He is taking care of EVERYTHING for us - it's nice to not have to worry about the little things. He got our taxi, does all the tipping, checked us into our hotel - brought us to our room, and we're meeting him at 9:00 tomorrow morning for breakfast. We leave at 4pm for Pune (we are 12 1/2 hours ahead of Oregon time). Not sure what's up with the 1/2 hour time difference - but it's true! We arrived in the dark tonight, so no pictures yet - hope to post some pictures tomorrow. It is SO hot here - and it's dark outside - it's in the 80's at night!!!

Alright - I'm exhausted - I basically stayed up all night Oregon time so I can go to sleep tonight which is morning time there. So grateful to be here, and can't wait to meet Kahlia! :-)
