The wake up call came at 3:30 a.m. as planned. Things went well to get ready and to head for the airport. In big letters it said we were going on King Fisher Airlines. So off we go to terminal two. Unfortunately in small print it said "operated by Deccan Airlines." They happen to be in terminal one. A helpful airlines service person helped us to walk the distance between the two terminals and worked with us until we were checked in for our flight. We received our boarding passes after I had paid an overweight charge. Domestic never seems to want to allow the same weight limits that we are allowed on international flights.
We made our way through security and found a seat. Soon we heard our flight being referenced. It was going to be 35 minutes late because of bad weather at its origin point. A little later another 40 minutes were added to the total. In spite of this the plane arrived and we found our seats. The plane took off right on the rescheduled time.
We were to arrive at 7:35 a.m. In stead we arrived around 8:55 a.m. and then it took us a while to get away from the airport. Our hosts were planning to feed us breakfast. This still happened but around 10:00 a.m. We went to our rooms after breakfast and moved in for the next five days. It is so good to see the people here in Orissa again.
Lunch followed this time to relax. We were back at the table around 1:30 p.m. Fortunately we are now on the Orissa schedule. Our next meal will be after 8:00 p.m.
There is one more activity for today. We are headed to a wedding reception this evening. That should be an interesting experience. We are looking forward to the same.
Tomorrow begins a day filled with activity. I will try to keep you posted.
