Hello from Delhi! Another note from Akhil...We've been trying for two days to get to Varanasi and finally gave up. We were trying to fly from Khajuraho, but planes have been unable to land there due to insufficient visibility. Apparently, they were doing runway work and accidentally damaged the Instrument Landing System, so they have to fly in on visual flight rules. And they're not repairing the ILS because they don't think it's worth it until after the runway work is complete. So no flights without 3600 meters visibility! It's a wonder that this place functions on any level, it really is.

Anyways, we drove 4 hours to Jhansi (no train station in Khajaraho) and got on the train to Delhi, which was true to form, 2 hours late. We got to bed at about 2:30 this morning and hope to fly to Amedabad tonight to visit family.

An email note: Connections here are very slow, and my Disney VPN service is also very slow. So I'm having trouble accessing email at all in India. I'm not ignoring anyone, I just really can't send email. It usually takes an hour to get one or two emails off. So if you'd like to email me (and please do!!), please do so on Shannon's account at shannonpv@hotmail.com. Thanks!
