I have finished the first leg of my travels. I left LAX this morning a little after 8:30.
Right now I'm sitting in the Detroit airport. The flight was about 3 1/2 hours. We had wind assistance so we arrived about 30 minutes early (which was nice) I have this problem where I can't sleep on airplanes... so it super sucks to have to sit the entire time trying to dose off with not much success.
I was shocked when I got on the flight. I haven't been in a plane since pre-gas price spike. I'm not sure about all of the airlines but Northwest was charging for everything! No more complimentary peanuts on a 4 hour flight. They were selling a small can of Pringles for $7 and the juice and soda varied between $3-5... so I just had water. Northwest is now also charging $50 for a second checked bag. All of these extra charges make it very hard to travel.
It is about 5:00 PM local time. My connection leaves at 7. Right now I'm going to get a bite to eat and try to prepare myself for my second jump which takes me across the Atlantic to Amsterdam. From there I jump on one last plane to arrive in India. I calculated the time. I won't arrive until about 9:30 AM Los Angeles time. So that means I will be traveling for an entire day.
As for how I am feeling right now: a little tired. I can't wait to arrive in Mumbai. India awaits and I'm trying to get there as fast as I can!
How exciting it is to travel the world!
