Hanging out in DFW

Waiting in Dallas-Fort Worth International airport, waiting to board our marathon flight to Dubai. Delayed an hour, so not too bad. Pretty impressed with DFW so far, reminds me of walking around a mall but hearing several different languages over the intercom and spoken by people as we pass by.

Guess I screwed up picking my dad and my seats since the attendant said we weren’t sitting together. However, she helped us out and put us together in a two-seat row. So we’ll be two Americans on what seems like a mostly non-American flight, sitting in the back of the plane. There’s some humor in there.

Because of the demonetization going on in India, there is a limit on the amount of USD that can be converted to INR (Indian Rupee) at a time. Tried to convert in Dallas but no luck. Hopefully I’ll fair better in Dubai.

Getting Married in India!!

And we’re off!

Puji and I didn’t have the most traditional start to a marriage, but at this point we wouldn’t have it any other way. A year after being pronounced husband and wife, we are traveling to India to have a Hindu ceremony and I thought I’d share the travel adventures with anyone who’s interested.

Puji got a head start on the traveling, arriving in Hyderabad the day after Thanksgiving, and getting to see her family in person for the first time in several years. After a week or two messaging and skype calls, my dad and I will be joining her and getting to meet her family in Hyderabad. Most likely a night or two there to sleep off some jet lag, then a trip to another friend’s wedding, then we’ll be heading to Khammam for our wedding ceremony on December 14th, 7pm India time (6:30 am CST).

After having some beers with friends at Lambert airport in St. Louis, my Pa and I had a nice and easy Southwest flight to Dallas where we’ll stay the night before hopping on a 14.5 hour flight to Dubai. After a 3 hour layover in the UAE we’ll leave for the final 3.5 hour flight to Hyderabad, India where I’ll finally get to meet my in laws. Looking forward to meeting the other side of the family, having some great food, seeing some amazing sights, and enjoying my first international travelling experience!
