Holy Security

In the last 40 house of being awake we’ve been through so many security checks, it’s insane.

But I’m getting ahead of myself… Today was our last day in India. We woke up relatively early to say goodbye to the Patel crew. Keval invited is over for lunch at his parents which was very nice considering they are so exhausted. Quick taxi ride to the airport in Baroda and we began our trek.

Baroda to Mumbai (1 hour flight)
*Very inefficient process!
*‎5 different security checks
*‎delayed flight
*‎separate men and women security check

Mumbai to Hong Kong (6 hour flight)
*weren’t able to check our bags in when we arrived, so we sat around for about an hour.
*‎we were moved to a flight leaving two hours earlier
*‎lots more security checks, some segregated by gender
*‎Pizza Hut for dinner in Mumbai!

Hong Kong to Chicago (14 hour flight)
*McDonalds for breakfast!
*‎uneventful flight considering how long it was

*You guessed it…more security

Chicago to St Louis (1 hour flight)
*Original flight was scheduled for 4pm. American ended up cancelling it a couple months ago and rebooked is for a 6:40 flight.
*‎6:40 flight is delayed
*‎Chili’s for lunch!
*‎Garrets popcorn for snack

*Yep… More security

We have now been awake about 43 hours with short bursts of resting on the plane as we could.

Awaiting our final flight which should begin boarding in about an hour. Thank goodness cause we can barely keep our eyes open.

I have no pictures today 🙁

PS. We will work through all our trip pictures in the next month or so if you are interested in checking back. Thanks!
