India is nothing like I imagined. Everyone speaks perfect North American English and they all look just like North Americans. They are a little rude. It’s strange, but it reminds a lot of New Jersey.
Wait a minute; I am in New Jersey! US Air decided to delay our flight from Pittsburgh by about one and a half hours, so I missed my flight to London by about two minutes. I’m not sure why there was such a delay since the weather was beautiful today. They said that it was due to air traffic control. I guess the high volume of planes flying into one of America’s busiest airports kind of caught them off guard. Who would have thought that would happen two days in a row! I also heard an unsubstantiated rumour that someone spotted a cloud in the nearby vicinity. This may have contributed to the mayhem.
Since rebooking my original flights would now get me into Calcutta on Wednesday (WTF!?!), I have to take a different route. I am now flying Newark to London to Bombay to Calcutta. I am arriving about sixteen hours later than expected and will have no time to acclimatise to the time zone. I guess that’s what makes it an adventure.
I will never fly US Airways again.
