Just a quick note to let y'all know that we've made it safely to India. We flew from Kenya to Addis Ababa and then on to Mumbai on Ethiopian Airlines. The airline was fantastic -- our first flight was only an hour and forty minutes long, but we got a full meal (and they remembered our vegetarian requests); plus, we got to watch Everybody Hates Chris. We got a second dinner on the flight to India. The plane could've crashed and it still would've been better than Continental.
We arrived in Mumbai a little after 5 a.m. local time. Our taxi ride to the city center, which normally takes an hour and a half, took about 30 minutes because today happens to be a minor holiday (yea for no traffic!). We've just eaten a huge meal, and we're heading out to shop for designer clothes and to try to find a way to get ourselves into a Bollywood movie.
And in case you're wondering, we're now 9.5 hours ahead of east coast time. That's right, nine and a half.
