Thu Jun 5 - The good news about missing my flight on Tuesday was that I got to fly First Class! Wow, it was amazing!! When you fly First Class on an international flight you get your own little cubicle. It had a big arm chair that had inflatable lumbar supports and when it swiveled around it went completely flat into a bed. I got a full size pillow and quilted blanket to boot, plus Bose headsets and all the movies and food I wanted, whenever I wanted them. It will be a darn shame when I have to go back to flying like the poor person that I really am!! I arrived in Delhi tired but not exhausted, but of course my luggage was about the last ones out. Next came Mr. Toad's Wild Ride to the apartment. Lane lines are just "suggestions" here - everyone pretty much drives wherever they feel like it, even on the wrong side of the road, constantly honking their horns to tell other people to get out of their way. Buses, trucks, cars, autoshaws (think rickshaws run by CNG (compressed natural gas) engines, pedalshaws, motorcycles, and bicycles all jostle for position and squeeze through impossible narrow spaces. I was so proud I only "yelped" once!!
