Safe landing in Delhi!!!

Left NY Monday 5th at 3:00pm (local time) and arrived in Delhi at 3:00pm on Tuesday 6th (again, local time)! India is 10-1/2 hours ahead of NY (13-1/2, Vanc).

It was a full flight, complete with the requisite number of fussy kids (1 in particular sitting beside us)!! Not much sleep was had during the flight!!

Met up with our group at the airport and were pleased to find we number no more than 24, Gail and I being the only Canucks.

The hour plus drive from the brand new airport was in rush hour 'crept no one was "rushing"!! Drove by VIP homes, beautifully landscaped gardens and the odd embassy enroute. Very nice.

Our Hotel in Delhi is spectacular -- VERY posh!! We have a large viewing window beside the tub in the bathroom looking into the bedroom/sitting room. Comes complete with a blind with the option of, of course, up or down!! The elaborate mini bar is well stocked with premium scotch, etal!

We're exhausted.....in bed at 8pm ------tomorrow is going to be a full day starting at 8:30am. We'll keep you posted.

  1. Great to hear you arrived safely in India! Your hotel (photo) looks beautiful. Get a good night sleep as the sights, sound and SMELLS will await you bright and early tomorrow morning.
