We got to sleep in today!!! We were scheduled to check out at 8 am and our driver would pick us up at 8:10 am to take us to the airport in Delhi. Today was the day we were heading to Bangalore or Bangaluru (it’s the same place). We got to the airport and they told us we were placed on standby, that wasn’t good. The guy went to another computer, checked something, came back and told us we had been bumped to first class. Oh Baby!!! We went through security and while on the shuttle to the runway where our plane was we met a group from Indiana who came to serve at an orphanage. It is called the Boaz Project. I wanted to tag along but I think I’ll have time to spend with kids in a few days.
It was my first time to sit in first class and we were treated like kings. Before we even took off they offered us cold towels and coconut water. The water was not good so Ryan and I played rock, paper, scissors to see who had to chug their water. I won. Once we took off they brought us our tablecloth for our tray. We ordered from the menu and they brought our food out relatively soon. It was a 3 hour plane ride but seemed shorter because I was so relaxed with my extended foot rest and lumbar support. Once we landed people started taking pictures and getting this dudes autograph behind us. We had to ask someone but we found out he is a professional & international cricket player. He is the Kobe Bryant of cricket is what I gathered. Anyway he road our private first class bus to the terminal with us because in India you get on and off the plane on the runway and get shuttled to the terminal.
We left the airport and drove about 30 minutes into Bangalore where we met Ryan’s friend at the apartment complex we are staying. Our 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, dinning room, kitchen and living room apartment is extremely nice. We are the first guests to stay in this guest apartment/house.
His friend ordered authentic Indian food and we ate and chatted for a few hours. We headed to bed knowing we get to sleep in. That’s a great feeling.
love love your updates! :) so glad you're having an amazing & blessed time!!
