Arrival in Delhi - Saturday the 27th, 3:15am

Hi Loved Ones,
Just a quick note to check in and tell you that I've made it back to "incredible india" -- my trip was very easy, pleasant and uneventful -- and very happily all my luggage made it with me! I read 2 magazines, started a new book, slept & ate, and even did a little work on one of my presentations -- and no medical mishaps on the airplane! ;-)

I'm at a different hotel this time, same chain just a different location (in fact this is where I attended the fashion show last time). Room is very nice, but I have to admit that there is a bit of a difference from the fancy "club level" where I was spoiled last time -- no molton brown, but still very lovely.

I'm going to take a shower and a tylenol pm so I can get some sleep (it's 3:15am here) so I can get up, dressed and repacked for my trip to Agra! My newfound friends (who I met last time) are picking me up at noon and it should be a 4 hour drive to Agra, we'll stay there overnight, and tour the Taj Mahal and other fun things before coming back here tomorrow.

Oh -- I actually made a phone call on my blackberry (and left a message for Bobby on his cell phone in Vegas!)-- as I've been tasked with testing all of our technology tools in advance of the Governor's visit. So, it appears that if you really need to get me you can call my work cell 703 424 3888, but now that I know it works I won't be using it much as I have to guess the calls are super expensive. I'm planning to rent a local cell phone for my 2 weeks here so I can communicate with all my contacts without the long distance issue.

So, here I am -- thinking of all of you, and looking forward to this new adventure!
Love,
Me
