Some special items we are taking
-extra passport photos: apparently passport photos function as a type of extraneous currency. In order to obtain certain items or services, such as a sim card for a phone, one needs to produce an extra passport photo. Go figure.
-lollipops: not for us, but to give to children. Big shout out to or friend mike for that idea.
-really nerdy wallets to wear around our necks: I guess it is safer, and thankfully neither of us is looking for a date because I'm sure these things would serve as a very effective repellant of the opposite sex.
-uv pen: space age technology! Wave this uv pen through your water and whamo, it kills all the bugs.
- 3 movies on the iPad: because neither of us had seen more than one movie nominated for an Oscar this year (i saw moneyball but couldn't convince moriah to go) we rented young adult, tinker tailor soldier spy and the descendants, for the 114 hour flight
We will let you know when we get to chennai safely,

"the 114 hour flight"?
ReplyDeleteIt's really long.....
Deletethere's always a moment on transoceanic flights for me where i feel like i've always been on the plane and i always will be on the plane and actually there is nothing but the plane and all other parts of my life are just illusions. so enjoy that.

The flight didn't seem so daunting until I calculated that we leave at 4:45pm today and land in Chennai at the equivalent of roughly 2:00pm tomorrow, meaning we will be traveling for 21 hours. Excellent.
ReplyDelete8 hours to Frankfurt, 4 hour layover, 9.5 hours to Chennai.
All of a sudden my transcontinental flight seems like child's play
