Travels

We've arrived in India! Our team is excited to finally begin our adventure abroad after our many months of preparation. After some last-minute repacking, we all met the 50 pound weight limit for our checked luggage (it was funny that the girls had the lightest luggage of the group).


We had an uneventful trip from Atlanta to Mumbai, taking full-advantage of the on-board entertainment and enjoying an unpexected breakfast at 2 am (when we were flying over Copenhagen). We were able to track the plane's flight and early in the morning we took a peak out the window as Iran passed underneath. After a layover in Mumbai, we arrived in Bhopal around noon today and were warmly welcomed with traditional Indian hospitality, including being adorned by necklaces of fresh-cut flowers, by representatives from Rotary District 3040. After arriving at our hotel for the day, we have spent the day eating (we probably had breakfast about 5 times with all the traveling), catching up on much-needed sleep, and preparing for GSE program starting tomorrow.
