FLYING TO CHENNAI
This is the start of the waiting.
I arrived at the airport a little after 9 AM on Saturday, July 30. The second flight, from Chicago to New Delhi, India, was 14 1/2 hours. Everything went well and, after the midpoint, I got about 6 hours of sleep. It seemed like we ate often. They gave us a bag of snacks for the sleeping time is case we got hungry. We got breakfast 1 1/2 hours before we landed, but it was noon for where we were on the world. I stayed awake for the 3 hour trip to Chennai, India.
Waiting to get off the last plane.
We arrived in Chennai about 11:00 PM on Sunday evening, Matt Ude and the driver Kumar were waiting and soon I relaxed in Matt’s apartment eating pizza from Pizza Hut.
At the time I arrived in Chennai, it was 10:30 AM on Sunday morning in Minnesota. The total time in airports and on planes was 26 hours.
