Flying Halfway

This morning (Saturday) at 11:30 am I landed safely in Delhi after arriving at the Sioux Falls, South Dakota U.S.A. airport at 6:45 am Thursday morning. Sioux Falls, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Dubai, and then India. It was two full days of travel (30+ hours) with a short seven hour rest in a hotel in Dubai due to a cancelled flight. The fog in Delhi has been so bad the past few weeks that there have been several problems with flight travel. I left Dubai at 7 am this morning and enjoyed the short 3 hour flight to Delhi. I savored two cheeseburgers & a large OJ at McDonolds at 5:30 am for breakfast in Dubai and knew it would be my last real beef for the next 4 months. I am very excited to be back in Delhi with my husband, but am going to need a few day to adjust to being back in India. Today we explored our new apartment complex, the new neighborhood, and took a walk to the local shops on MG Road. I've already dealt with begging children, donkeys, the construction crew in our apartment, and the fog. Tonight I will sleep well after a full couple of days. The weather is a comfortable 65-70 degrees so I can't complain. Thankfully we are both together and safe after flying halfway around the world.

  1. Hi Jodi,
    Great blog.

    I just started this travel blog for women and I'm collecting photos from women abroad. Submit a photo of yourself in India and some tips for other women travelers who are going there, and we'll link back to your blog.
