Well, after a grueling 36 hour journey, I made it back home earlier this morning. I'm exhausted! We left Pune on Friday morning and flew to Delhi. We had some time to kill before our flight left Delhi, so we toured the city a little. We saw a very tall old Minnaret and a ruined Mosque and a newer Bahá'í temple called the Lotus temple. They were all kind of neat to see, but I think we were a little tired of sightseeing and ready to head home so they weren't as impressive as they could have been. We caught our flight out of Delhi just after midnight this morning (India time) and flew for nearly 16 hours to Chicago. After a couple of hours getting through customs, we made our connecting flight to Moline and arrived here about 9:00 this morning.
Tammy and the kids were waiting in the airport and it was GREAT to see them again! I had a great time in India and will carry fond memories of my time there, but am SO glad to be home again. Now I'm just trying (somewhat unsuccessfully) to stay awake until bedtime so I can start adjusting back to American time.
Thanks for all of your interest in my experiences in India. It's a great place to visit if you ever have the opportunity!

Wow. I'm glad you made it home safely and I'm very happy that your famiy can all be together again (I'm sure Tammy and the kids are very relieved to have you home!)
Thanks for sharing your experiences in India with us. It was great to hear about the different activities you did and learn more about the culture.
Good luck adjusting back to our time!
I hate jet lag! It's really hard for me to recover from it. I'm glad you had fun and that you made it back safe.
Sounds like it was all quite an adventure. I'm glad you had that opportunity!
I am like Sarah, I am glad you had that opportunity. But the truth is, I am glad that it was not me. I have lots of places that I would like to go but India is not one of them. I think if I had lots of experience abroad I might be a little more adventuresome.
