Hello Mumbai

We made it, we made it!! It's wonderful to finally be here.

Traffic outside the airport... I wish I could've captured just how close cars are to each other. I thought we were going to get hit about 12 or 13 times on our 10 minute drive to the hotel but we didn't--not once. Pretty impressive driving goes on in India
This is just outside our hotel... a very colorful marketplace! Feels like we're in the heart of it all. Love it!!
Inside our hotel relaxing
Hotel Midland--this is what it looks like from the outside
Getting our eat on... this is Masala Dosa: Kind of like a pancake but not sweet with coconut chutney and potatato salad type thing. Yummy!! Naomi and Devin ate this and LOVED it
Mutton Biryani: this is what I ate!! Can you just see the heat from the picture? very spicy
A vegetable market right outside our hotel... so fresh & they do this daily

and yet another airplane ride

One more long airplane ride to get to India!!

This airplane flew us from London to Mumbai in 8 hours 58 minutes
Naomi watching movies on her own personal TV that had over 200 movies to choose from. British Airways is hands down the best airline to fly overseas!!
Airplane food... not bad, actually :)

London Calling

Don't have much time to blog (computer battery running low) so I'll make this one quick... We've arrived safely after an 8 hour flight. After a bit of London fun we're off to Mumbai; see you there :)

all you can do on a 8 hour flight is watch movies, eat, and SLEEP!!Looks like the flight we'll be getting on nextHeathrow AirportThere's only 4 of these couches in the entire terminal so you have to be a pretty crafty stalker to get one... but boy is it worth it!! I want to take one home with me...if you're ever in Heathrow Airport you must go here... best Sushi in a box, ever!! I know I should be eating fish and chips but I just cannot resist the sushi ;)all Salmon all the time makes Arlene a very happy girl :)

we're on our way...

We made it to the Minneapolis airport after a bumpy bumpy flight. It was windy here so the landing was quite scary but we made it :) We have a 6 hour layover so we're hanging out in the Delta World Club... relaxing!!

the view from our window

 

Naomi watching a movie & eating carrot sticks
free wine, beer, cheese, crackers and almonds... does it get better than this?Airport sushi--not all that bad, actually
Naomi loves it :)
bored at the airport & goofing off... too much fun!!

Here we come INDIA

3 passports ready with Indian visas stamped and we're ready to go!!

I've decided to start a travel blog to keep you up to date on what we've been up to on our trip to India. I also want to share the wonderful country with you. Keep checking back and I'll update whenever I can! 2 more days and we're off :)
