All our bags are packed: part 2

We are sort of cheating with this post, because we are writing from our hotel room in America. We arrived back in the states this morning after a 16 hour flight from Mumbai. Although we were daunted by the thought of a 16 hour flight, it is amazing what a long list of on demand movies and some Unisom will do to pass the time. It was not nearly as bad as we thought it would be. Once we got to Newark we then boarded a plane for Atlanta where we will meet up with Dave's family tomorrow to celebrate Ariel's graduation.

Though the flight from Mumbai was not bad, the wait in Mumbai was. I duked it out with a security guard who wanted a bribe to let us into our terminal. Hopefully that was both the first and the last time I yell at someone who is holding an assault rifle. There were also extra layers of security, which though we usually appreciate, got quite frustrating. There was more yelling and then chugging of a water bottle before we got onto the plane. I am not normally not like that, I swear.

We have more to tell you about our trip-- stories in retrospect-- but we are working on 4 hours of sleep and a 9.5 hour time difference and are not quite up to the task of writing at the moment. We will post more soon, once we rest and can stay awake for longer than 5 minutes at a time!
