Half-way there...

We arrived in Amsterdam just a little while ago. Last night when we got on the plane in Chicago, it took a long time to actually take off - I think we ended up actually taking off over 2 hours late (sitting on the plane for at least an hour without moving). I guess we ended up gaining some ground because we had a strong tailwind apparently. Plus, it didn't really matter when we took off, as long as we made our connection - we'd be waiting somewhere anyways. When we finally ended up taking off, I was very tired, but it was like 8:00 am Hyderabad time, so I made myself stay awake the whole flight. It has now been something like 44 hours since I have slept. We are supposed to take off for Hyderabad in like 2 hours, and the flight lasts almost 9 hours. I will be sleeping on this next flight :) At least then it will be evening/night Hyderabad time and I won't mess up what I've tried to do for my sleep schedule. We are to arrive in Hyderabad at 1:45 Sunday am local time, which is 2:15 Saturday pm Iowa time. So far the trip has been mostly exhausting, but we are all getting excited to get there!
