Day 0: When Day 1 became Day 0
We go to Mumbai airport sleepy at 5 am.. loitering around the boarding area to keep awake.. stand in line for Boarding.. & just before we reach the counter..Screen change.. BOARDING CLOSED !! ..wht !!..how..why !! now wht !!! there went the sleep..
'Sir ..we have another flight in sometime , u can try for tht'..
& that ensured running outside the airport to reserve new tickets.. running inside to get baggage..
Was a Saturday.. few combinations to suit our connecting flight timing ..
no tickets available.. Oh !! this was so not meant to be :(
Booked tickets for the next day.. Got the bags..informed change of plans to the local travels at Sikkim..hopped into a cab for the only appropriate thing that could be done... Some yummy South Indian Breakfast at Manis, Matunga (Mumbai)..
Tucked in some nice breakfast..complete with filter coffee..
off started the first day of vacation at home..lazy day with food being delivered.. syncing the ipod & other such imp stuff :)
