The long journey to Bangalore







Sunday, January 2, 2011
My thirty hours of traveling started at 7 am, Sunday, January 2, 2011, when my wife and I left the house and headed to Bridgewater state university to meet our group members and Dr. Grossman and start our journey to India. We took our university’s van to Newark airport, New Jersey. It took us about five hours to get there since we had to go back to Quincy, MA to pick up an important travel document for one of our group member that she forgot at home. Luckily, we got to the airport just in time; our flight departed from Newark at 4:25 pm Sunday afternoon to arrive the next day at 5:35 pm local time at Bombay airport. After we got our luggage and went through the customs we had to go to a domestic airport to take another flight to Bangalore which took us approximately another five hours to get there. At the airport we met Dr. Rao and two drivers who took us to the fireflies ashram which it was about an hour away from the airport where we stayed for five days.
