Greetings!
Friday through Sunday was consumed by a 17-hour flight from San Francisco to Singapore, a four-hour layover (including a 30-minute trek through the airport), and a four-hour flight to Chennai, India. Plus, we crossed the International dateline, so welcome to Sunday morning. Our driver (Balu) took us to the Ideal Beach Resort south of town, and we promptly fell asleep.
About 9am, we awoke only to have breakfast, survey the hotel and beach, and went back to sleep. We woke up to read, have dinner, watch the Australian Open Tennis Tournament, monitor the score of the Super Bowl, and went back to sleep at the start of the fourth quarter thinking San Francisco was going to win.
And then the Chinese economy went sour and the 49ers lost. Oh well, good to be on a beach in India.
Monday has been more leisure. Learning to operate the room environment and equipment. Improving the towels, pillows, hair dryer, refrigerator door, tv remote, wifi (I'm sure the staff is getting tired of their visits). They did bring Pat a birthday cake, however. We have ambitions of a swim in the pool and ocean. I saw about ten dolphins cruising the shoreline yesterday.
But we'll probably just relax and read. We've got two months of adventurous days ahead of us, and we don't want to miss anything.
