So as a woman, of course I packed way too much! First goal was to only bring one suitcase and a carry-on. My bag was definitely over the 50lb limit (88lbs *head hung low*) the teller at the airport could not stop laughing! I had to remind them that I'm going for two months! A lady needs her stuff. Nonetheless, I purchased an overpriced duffel at the airport to separate my stuff.
The flights were pretty long. I slept through every time they were going around to take meal orders. My meals were all defaulted to
vegetarian. LOL... so far so good, let's see how long I can keep this vegetarian thing up. They gave this snack on the plane that didn't quite go well with my taste buds...sort of like spicy noodles? Not my favorite!
I'm In India!! Wow!
What a long journey to Jamkhed! JFK to London then London to Mumbai. The security is serious here on this side if the world! The US has nothing to complain about. I actually saw someone who had been tasered down by security. From Mumbai a car service met us at the airport to take us to Pune to then meet a CRHP representative to drive us to Jamkhed.
Everyone is pretty friendly so far. On the five hour drive to Pune from Mumbai the driver stopped next to another car (we got a little nervous since it was in the middle of the night) but it was so the other passengers could get into another car since we were going to different locations. From Pune, we met a the
CRHP rep driving an Izuzu trooper in front of the Samrat Hotel. The driver was nice and we pulled over to have a light snack - some "tea." I probably had the best Chai tea I've ever had!
We arrived into Jamkhed at 7am the next morning just in time for class! Yes, class. I can express how tired I am but I think the endorphins have taken over. I am just so excited to be here the fatigue is taing a baack seat at this time. I am looking forward to coming back to my room and resting my head...
Talk to you soon.
