Ok, finally in Mumbai. Got switched a few times on the flight but arrived at 1:45 am. My luggage is somewhere in the Mimbai airport and seems like the luggage is happy because it has not arrived as yet, I was told the Lufthansa "lost and found" is closed on Sunday so hopefully Monday. No big deal, I have one shirt and a pair of slacks, that could last for months....Am awaiting Bhavesh's call and maybe I will go buy a shirt and some sneakers. The weather is great, balmy 80 degrees at the moment, was around 70 when I got up at 9:30 from rooms ervice...I arrived at the hotel at 5:00 am. Took 3 hours to fill out lost luggage forms.....Does not warrant an explanation unless I can actually tell you in person. lol. Took a walk in my spiffy trousers, short sleeve shirt and cordovan wing-tips, got a blister on my foot. That is fine because it reminds me I am human and alive,...well alive anyway. Below is my room, Rm 2007 ( a good year) if you want to send a ribeye overnite to me...The bed has real pillows and a man's blanket. Those 4 hours of sleep were like heaven. Internet is free and with a cable. Skype was not so good when I talked to my son Brent and the singing/dancing duo machine, Bryce and Chase, fortunately they have Ashleys rhythm and not that Elaine thing I have.....also talked to Megan, my daughter, and that was somewhat clearer, may try buying a wireless card, Tata is big over here and see if that helps. Monday I go to the Accenture office, I assume Bhavesh will show me wheer I am located, my luggage has my walking and teenis shoes so will probably take a taxi or auto rickshaw( schpaaz) to the office. Had breakfast in the dining room, was nice and friendly. Mike, I ate a tomato and had coffee before asking if they used bottle water.......trouble could be on the way...
They have 3 restaurants, a gym full of crazy weight lifting Indians that look like they might be on parole..LOL...There is a pool here somewhere, but I don't think it is outside. Anyway, it looks to safe. Its not the Leela but this is perfect for me and a lengthy stay and gives me a better view of the culture. Y'all are just getting up or still sleeping but its 1:00pm here so I will sign off.
