LA trip

The LA trip was good. Got over with important (mostly unimportant to me!) office work on Friday night and started for LA on Saturday. Ufff it took 7hours! The peak of boredom while travelling within the country - can't sleep, nothing much to eat, no TV, noone to talk to...ahhh...It was a dull start to the vacation but that was perhaps the only dull moment.

Reached LA around 10pm. Mama mami had come to pick me up. Agra nanaji was also supposed to arrive the same night. We waited, and then we waited. And then finally after we waited his flight arrived :). I met him after a long time. But we could not go together; airport auth. had already arranged for his brief stay in LA. Well...we went back home. It was pretty late and we slept as soon as we reached home.

Sunday, we started early morning for Universal studios. I was excited - i was gonna meet a few hollywood celebrities! nah! just kidding! The anonymity (if this is a word!) of the whole experience in front of me was exciting.
What i did at Universal ? - Duh! you gotta do more reading pal! refer to my previous post. Thanks.

Monday i slpt like i'd never slept before! woke up and mami was there to prepare lunch. Watched a couple of movies, and in the evening we went for a walk. baith ke gappe maare...internet pe US ke Bhargava's ke bare main pata kiya etc!
Oh n I had a lot of home made goodies to eat - pav bhaji, rajma-chawal, bhindi, gobi, salad!(who as the time to cut salad as a bachelor:)), roti...

On Sunday i went to Mama's office. Worked up his laptop to get it on the internet. Without which it was really just another dumb machine! later that morning he dropped me off to the airport.
LA trip over.

Ha! not yet! the flight back home...
My connecting flight from Dallas was at 8:50pm in the night. I reached Dallas at 7:50. It's a big airport and they have airport trains running around the terminals. Even though i had time i thought of taking the airport train to reach another terminal for my Dayton flight. Now from 7:55 to 8:40 i was STUCK in the airport train. Donno what had happened, the doors were closed as they opened automatically only at the stations and the train was in the middle of nowhere. When they started again at about 8:38, it took 2 minutes to reach the next station. I just got out and started pace walking towards my terminal. Was barely able to reach there at 8:50:8:55...they din't leave me since i was a connnecting flight passenger. Direct flight passengers miss their flights!

gotta go now!
ta ta!
