Its been a week or so.

It is Tuesday, we have done a bunch of stuff in the last week. Even took a few pictures but those will follow. Here are some highlights.

Plane to Abu Dhabi, was very nice even though the kid behind me kept kicking my seat, and when he wasn't his mom was. Watched several movies on that flight, Brothers Bloom (I liked it I just thought it would have one more turn) Terminator (good but I didn't agree with the end decision), State of Play (O look at how wonderful the media is!!!! and since I played a role in it you should trust my political advice) Transformers 2 started it but didn't get to finish it.

Saw the fjords of Norway from the camera underneath the plane. They also let you see what the pilot sees during take off and landings.

The plane to New Delhi smelled like curry, mainly because they served it on the plane. Movie selection was not so good so I watched Ghosts of girl friends past (not sure what I was thinking.... it was late or early.... not sure) and My life in ruins (which had its moments)


Arrived as the sun was coming up. Got our bags went to the motel and slept all day.
Woke up at 9 pm, went to the rooftop cafe and had some mutton curry, garlic nan, and ginger honey lemon tea all very nice. And then went to bed again.

Work up at 3 AM bored out of our minds but forced ourselves to stay in bed.

6 AM or so turned on the TV to see the Twins give up a 2 run lead in the 9th.

We have spent most of the time going around town seeing stuff, it is everything people have described, dirty, beautiful, busy, crazy..... the list goes on.

The most annoying thing is the people that come up to you talk to you and then as you part tell you to go to a tourist office. That is the only reason that they talk to you, and their info is always with the intent to device you. They tell you that the government train ticket office is bad and that they just take your money but that is the exact opposite of the truth. The stand in front of the government office and yell at you to go to a different place. The guide book warns us of this and they were dead on.

Food has been good, will blog about that when we post pic.

Lets finish up with some Yes No.

Yes to Etihad airlines best ever. Massive amount of entertainment.

No to their headphones, half of the pop in your ears when you mess with the plug in.

Yes to the food in India.

No to getting a vegetarian meal on the plane.

Yes to Having cable in the room.

Yes to getting ESPN Asia.

No to the Twins choking in the last two games.

No to the lack/no coverage of the NFL, the only coverage that is even close is the TMZ talking about Vick, or the up coming moves any given Sunday and the replacements.

Yes to Chi Tea off the steet.

Yes to this internet 2.5 MBPS not too shabby.

Well that was some stuff. More will follow.
