Yes....I realize I've been to Bangalore and back have not said much about the trip so far. Let's see if I can record some memories here and catch you up to speed. First...the flights to Bangalore were on time and uneventful. They were LONG as expected though. :) I left my house around 10am Friday, March 8th. My flight left South Bend at noon ET. I only had enough time in Atlanta to grab some food and change into more comfy clothes before boarding began for the first lengthy flight to Paris.
I had a few hours layover in Paris. Time to relax, recover from the first flight, recharge electronic devices, and take a few pictures inside the airport. The international terminal and Duty Free shopping area of the Paris airport is very nice! I had a great view watching planes go by from the Air France lounge. Food was yummy too. Definitely worth paying the 1-month membership fee with Delta, so I could access the lounge!
The number of people in the terminal between 6:30am when I arrived and 9:30am local time when I walked to my gate was pretty significant. And if one gets bored, there was a play area for the little kids and video game stations for the big kids in the gate area. :)
I'll try to get some pictures from the Bangalore airport on my way home. By the time I landed, it was 12:30am Sunday morning local time (approx 2pm ET Saturday afternoon). All I was concerned about was getting my luggage, clearing customs, and finding my ride to my hotel. :) More about the hotel in my next post...
