I drove to Houston International Airport with Katie and Jenni after a minor set back when Jenni's suitcase and pants ripped. Soon we would find out this would be one of the many minor blips to come in our stay in India. Our journey began by getting to know one another - asking questions about each others future, boy drama, and of course how nervous we were - and I soon decided these two girls would be a big part of my life, even beyond India. We arrived to the airport and were given a nice shuttle ride by Sean who seemed to prefer AirFrance passengers to Lufthansa passengers - we were not given any help with our bags! The lady at the counter however was extremely sweet to us and I tried to convince her to join us in India but she refused my offer. I don't blame her though because our 24 our trip was not exactly ideal. Walking into the plane I was astonished at how far apart the seats were, and the personal tvs, and then I kept walking and realized that was first class. The next section I came to I was still pretty impressed with the comfortable looking seats and leg room until I noticed that was the business class. Needless to say I was not very happy with the economy class seats. They sure do a good job of making you feel poor and inadequate.
Nothing too exciting has happened quite yet. The food wasnt the best. None of the music stations are English. Crazy Stupid Love was a surprisingly hillareous movie. I am quite jealous of the kid behind me who has a legit looking blanket fort. Oh, I also couldn't figure out how to open the restroom door in the plane...embarrassing moment #1.
My Prayer: Lord, Please keep us safe as we continue our travel to India. Carry us in your arms. Please calm the hearts and minds of our loved ones back home during our stay. In Your Almighty Name, Amen
