Hello Mumbai!

We got to Mumbai (BOM) without any problems. The flight was long, but I watched 3 movies (Men Staring at Goats, Precious, and Couples Retreat). The food on the plane was pretty good (Indian food, made in the USA). I chose vegetarian for dinner, and had eggs for breakfast (I guess that was American). It was recommended we use a ‘Prepaid Taxi’ to get from the airport to the Hyatt Regency hotel (which is very close). This just cost us 190 INR (which is like $4.40). The tax was tiny and our 2 duffel bags didn’t fit properly in the trunk so it had to be tied down with a cable, oh good times. I think Joe caught a snap of that. The driving here seems similar to Egypt, CRAZY. When we just pulled into oncoming traffic to turn around I almost sh*t. When we got to the Hyatt (which is beautiful), it was a little scary when the 4 security guards at the locked gates did a bomb scan of the taxi we were in. But we made it, and we are in this beautiful hotel, which I think will be the nicest accommodations we will see until I get back to Hoboken :) Well time for a hot shower, maybe a scotch, and then going to bed for a 5:45am departure (it is about 10:30pm local time here now).
