India, Here We Come!!!

We just got to Chicago and checked in our luggage. There was a slight problem with our tickets, and other than not getting the seats we were originally assigned, and wanted, everything turned out ok. Our flight is delayed an hour. I think it takes something like 7 hours to get to Amsterdam and then a 5 or so hour layover, and then another 8 or so hours to get to Hyderabad India. We are excited to go (of course). Our dogs are at home with friends from church who are living at our house while we are gone. We are really thankful they could do this - makes our trip much less stressful not having to think about what's going on at home as much. Last night was crazy for Narasimha and I as we packed - we were up all night (literally - no sleep at all) and when we were finally done in the morning, our bags were too heavy, so we had to drop weight and repack and use some of the girls' space (my sister and her friend are going with us and somehow packed very light). So currently we are eating at the food court at the airport, and then we will go through security and wait for the plane. I will try to keep posting about our journey details, and try to add some pics of our fun. We have a busy itinerary planned for the next few weeks - stay tuned :)
