We're in India!


So we got in at about 1:30am Mumbai time, pretty tired after plenty of delays and a non-stop 14hr flight from JFK. After some more delays waiting for bags & getting through customs, we finally got hooked up with the guys from the hotel. You'll see in the pics that things got pretty slaphappy after being immobile that long.
We got our first taste of street kids begging while loading up the buses...it really breaks your heart, you can tell they are varitable professionals they do it so much.
The hotel is really nice, which we're appreciating...unfortunately, we didn't really get up to the rooms etc until about 3:30am, and we have to hit the road again by 9am after some breakfast. Looks like more tiredeness for everyone tomorrow...but we'll finally be in Vizag, and can get some downtime.
Well here's the latest batch of pics from the last day or so. I'm sure we'll have lots more together once we get settled in Vizag.

India trip dinner meeting

We all met at one of our favorite spots for dinner last night, Bombay Grill. This was our last meeting before we leave this Friday.

Everyone liked the food, Ben said the bread (naan) tasted like a quesadilla and that the chicken tasted like chinese. Beck stole peoples' food and made a new "buddy", Max. We all crashed a closing Gelato shop for a treat after dinner. Keep checking back for blog updates and more photo links.
