DESTINATION INDIA: ARRIVED Thursday July 29th

After twenty-five hours of air travel on three flights I am in India. Mr. Suhas, the concierge from the hotel I booked surprised me at the customs check and provided a pleasant escort out of the airport. I booked a top-notch five-star hotel in Mumbai, extravagant and plush with its comfortable Western-style mattress and box-spring bed, the combination of anticipation and adrenaline kept me awake most of the night.
