We made it!

We're finally here, after about 23 hours of travel time - 34 hours door-to-door. Whew. We almost missed our flight from San Francisco since our flight out of Portland was delayed by 90 mins. We were the last to check-in, and the last to board - and that was a first for the Narjala family, next only to actually missing a flight :)



We met up with Pia, Zeph, Josh and Sujan at SFO, and they very patiently waited for us while we checked in (hurriedly). The sisters must have had a telepathic moment while selecting their travel attire - they were identically decked-out, all the way down to the exact same pair of shoes!

The kids actually did quite well on the flights, all things considered. Yo didn't sleep very much, and was bouncing around in our arms the rest of the time. Every now and then we'd visit Pia and kids (who were seated a section away from us on one of the flights), and the kids would have a blast.



Once we got to Hong Kong all of us started to fade. We were quite ready to be done with traveling, especially the little munchkins. We were met in Bangalore by dad, mom, appa, Aj & Tanya. Unfortunately this wasn't the end of the road for Pia and the kids - they still had one more short leg to Chennai. Thankfully Zeph and Josh pulled through one more time.

Next step - recover from jet lag!
