India initial thoughts

| Comments

So, after a long trek, I have finally made it to India. My luggage, on the other hand wasn't so fortunate. Luckily, I prepared for this eventuality by over-packing my carry-on, so hopefully I'll be able to tide myself over until my bag arrives (assuming that it does arrive).

In the mean time, my impression of Delhi so far is - hot. The A/C unit in my hotel room isn't really bringing the noise, so I enjoyed some fitful rest in a free sauna. At least I got to lay down - haven't been in a proper bed for over 3 days. Hopefully things will get fixed for tonight, so that I'll be able to get my first good night's sleep in I don't know how long.

I've already been bitten by my first Indian mosquito. I stepped out of my room this morning for breakfast in the common area, and got clipped. So malaria, here I come. I'm going to need to be a lot more aggressive with the mosquito repellant - I thought I could get by with using it just when I went out, but basically outside of my room, I'm going to need it.

Because of all of my flight issues, I reached India nearly 20 hours later than I initially planned. I was supposed to wake up crazy early this morning to go to a day trip to Agra, but I scrapped that because I figured that I would be tired. So now I'm going to have to do a little bit of juggling, and figure out how I'm going to spend the rest of my time here in India.
