And We're Off!! (for real this time)

Well, we are sitting in the lobby of the Hilton in Newark, NJ (which is highly overrated by the way) and ready to get on our plane to India tonight. All of our luggage managed to get through so far (including the dog) and, more impressively, none of our bags were overweight thanks to two days of continuous packing and repacking. We take off at 8pm tonight and fly about 8 hours to Brussels followed by another 7 or 8 hours to Mumbai. We should arrive in India around midnight so hopefully everything will go smoothly in the airport and we can get to our apartment quickly and get some sleep. Once we arrive, the school will take us around for a few days and get us all set up with phones, bank accounts, internet, and those other essentials. If all goes well we should be able to call or email within a couple days.

We will be meeting all the other ASB newbies at the airport today so it will be nice to go through all of this with a large group. There are about 20 of us flying from the US which makes a nice support group for any of us that really start freaking out. So far I think we are not in that category, but we'll see what happens once we get on the plane. We are mostly concerned about the dog since communication with the Indian airport has not exactly been efficient, consistent, or comforting. Elizabeth has done a great job of covering all our bases though, so we feel prepared and informed on our end which provides a little more reassurance. For now I think our fate is pretty much out of our hands so we will have to just wait and see what happens.
