The Eagle Has Landed!

Indeed I have!! I am sitting in a Hotel in New Delhi right now.  Hotel Impress actually.  And let me tell you, I am impressed!

Travel so far has been great.  I went from Detroit to Chicago on a baby plane.  Then from there it was a straight shot to New Delhi.  When I arrived and I gathered my luggage I was trying to figure out where to go.  After talking to a few different people I finally understood that I needed to take a bus or a taxi to the airport I will be flying out of to get to Bangalore.  After getting a ticket for a taxi, finding one and getting my luggage and myself inside, I was told by the drivers they could not take me to the airport.  After some time of me telling them I did not want a guest house but I just wanted to go to the airport now, I realized what they were trying to tell me.  They won't let anyone enter the airport until 3 hours before their flight.  I had about 7ish hours to kill so my driver (Kumar) took me to this hotel I am blogging from. =)  It is actually really nice, which I thought my mom would like! 

It is 12:43 am right now and my driver should be here around 2:00 am to take me to the airport.  I am nine hours ahead so at home (at least in MI) it's a little after 3:00 pm. 

My emotions have definitely gone back and forth.  And I have to remember that they are exactly that, "emotions!"  Anyway, at times I will be like, "Wow, thank you God.  The peace you are giving me is amazing and I can't even understand how it is happening."  And then every once in a while that changes to (with some tears), "What the heck am I doing?"  But it was good because every time I asked myself that I was like, "Oh yeah, I'm obeying God."  Gotta love His confirmation! =)


I just got a picture with the man who works here at the hotel.  He is very kind as well.  Enjoy and I hope to update you soon (also hoping I will have some more pictures for you)!
