I made it.

I arrived to the Varanasi airport on January 4th at 2:00pm for a 3:30pm departure, however my flight to Delhi was delayed and my flight did not depart until 5:30pm. I finally arrived in Delhi around 7:30pm and took a taxi from the domestic airport to the international airport for my journey back to the United States. My flight out of Delhi was delayed about an hour and I departed Delhi 12:30am, December 5th. I arrived 16 hours later in New Jersey at 5:30am, December 5th. In Jersey I had to go through customs and had to re-check my baggage for my final flight to San Francisco which was on-time, but I almost didn’t make the connection since after getting out of customs I had about 20 minutes before my plane departed and the securtity line was long. The final flight was a long 7 hours. My total time spent in an airplane on my journey home was 24 hours, which is a new record for me and I don’t plan on trying to break it anytime soon.

In San Francisco I am taking in the fresh air, drinking water from the tap, and enjoying fabric softener like never before.
