Details of pictures: Hong Kong airport, Singapore airport, SQ airport, and an apartment building in Singapore. Singapore is a word derived from Sanskrit, the ancient language of Inida and the mother of all languages-Sinha: lion and pur: a city. Painfully long but the uneventful journey from Elk Grove, Sacramento to Delhi started on Sunday, Nov. 4th at 3:00 p.m. Left for the airport with suitcases packed with a few gifts and mp3 players, CD players and some arts and craft activities for the school for tribal children. It ended many hours later and after many hours spent at various airports, four to be exact. It also included a tour of the downtown area of Singapore which was a free tour offered by the kind government of Singapore. When I arrived in Delhi, India at 11:00 p.m. it was November 6th, 2007. Totally exhausted because of lack of sleep, it was a relief when we pulled in half an hour early. But the luggage did not come out for another hour. My brother and sister-in-law who are both retired doctors were waiting outside patiently. It is 11:00 p.m. on Nov. 6th. I have lost one entire day because India is 12 and a half hours ahead of US time. On to the drive back home, ahhhhhh.. welcome sleep and welcome jet lag!
