February 22, 2016

We came to NYC in the winter because it is our gateway to another international journey.  This time, India.  We prefer to travel during summer but we have a bunch of winter destinations that are piling up.  We need to start ticking them off while we are young.

The flight from NYC to Delhi, India is our longest to date. It is 14 hours plus ten hours of time change.  It is totally on the other side of the world from Tucson.  The route takes us over the northern hemisphere flying over Iceland and Moscow and the western edge of the Himalayas.  The sky was surprisingly cloud free for a very large part of the flight.

For being the longest flight, it wasn’t too bad.  The plane was shockingly half empty.  So after two movies, three meals, and several beers, we were able to spread out and catch a few minutes of shut-eye.
