Journey to the West - Getting to SFO

The Final part of my journey .... I know I have bugged u guys there by elongating this story just as much and before u get annoyed and start hunting me down... here goes the last part of my Journey to the West. Ok now I am on the flight stuck between an old Korean couple and a German guy next to me. The old man next to me slept off in an instant and started snoring. No, I don get disturbed by sounds wen I sleep, so that did not cause me any problem whatsoever. But, on this flight I made sure I used the in-flight entertainment and so I sat up and started watching Forrest Gump. Yup, the same old Tom Hanks movie. I like it so........I first have the juice tat was served. Then comes the Asian Vegetarian Meal :) It was pretty gud, I must say. I enjoyed the meal and then finished watching the movie and guess what?? I slept again :) :)!!! I got up when it was snack time and had some nice snacks and immediately post tat, we were served sandwiches. :) Delicious they were :) :)!! Had them and th...

Journey to the West - The Flight from MAA to LHR

Glug...Glug.... Glug... Duh.. remember they gave me something to drink??? I am just getting done with it. Glug..glug ...glug... oh no... I jus asked for another drink :D.

I am like...WTH!!!!This is my first international flight .... stop scaring me. However, flights before were fun 'cos I had my family around and it only excited me to travel in aeroplanes before. Not wasting a moment more, Vinay Vijayakumar, ya that is me :D went to sleep. I was meddling with the in-flight entertainment screen and controls and it kinda put me to sleep. I turned the playlist in iPod to my sleep-time playlist and entered a physical state that I was gonna spend the next 10-odd hours. Now, this is the time wen I have no clue of wat time it is. But, from wat I figured, the air-hostess woke me up to give me my Asian Veggie meal.... and I was like ...Uhhh.. Wat.... OMG hot airhost...

Journey to the West - Getting on the plane

Finally.... After mentioning this blog quite a few times and coming up wit it jus a lil after a month :D :D ...PHEW was I busy or wat.........!! So here goes..... 10.30PM, December 27th, 2008 Location: Besant Nagar, India The last minute of packing and weighing the bags and trying to keep them under 23kgs. No, that is not realistic. It is never true and it is never possible to get that rite. Wateva we try, its gonna end up at least a KG more than wat is allowed. Packing done by 11:00PM and a final round of hugs and namaskarams to grandparents. I was cuddling my dearest Kutty to last me a long time before I come back to India(I miss her soooooooo much :( ). We head to the airport. We means, my parents and me. I went into Anna International Airport along with several others. I went in and had no problems with my bags and went on to check-in and come back and spend time with my parents and friends. I go ahead and see a queue as long as the longest I have seen. I din wanna stand in one of...
