Arrival New Delhi July 4

We traveled for our 26 hours, 21 of it airtime.  From Newark we logged 13,000 miles over the polar route: Scandinavia, Moscow, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan,  Delhi airport.  Our director traveled the whole route with us. Then we were met by our full-time guide and our air conditioned bus.  We were greeted by about ten hotel staff,  given sweet lime and water melon juice and room gifts. I think we are going to be really spoiled.  This is amazing.  It is after midnight on July 5th now, and we begin to roll at 6:00 a.m.

You don't even look tired after your over the pole trip. Did you sleep? Looks like a nice welcome for the Fourth. The Fourth is over here and we are full of ribs. We thank you for all the information you are sending which is enhancing and widening our knowledge of India. MB
