Hey guys,
As I have mentioned maybe a couple of months back, we had a friend based in the Bay Area who has a father in Chennai (head of an ashram organization) that decided to organize a major religious function along the Ganges River. However, right now it's definitely Summer and the weather is hot (not exactly humid) but guess everything was based on the water temperature & star alignment.
We had a couple of options - Book Emirates (with Skywards miles) or take Air India directly to Delhi and onward to Varanasi. A few things. Air India is still a work in progress, some of their planes based out of SFO are good (Delta product). Others aren't so good because of a non-functioning entertainment system. Timing is good. However, we decided to book Emirates and take the quick route to Delhi.
My father left a couple of days ago on March 24, and my mom & I left together on March 29, returning April 6 (Saturday), and my dad on April 9.
To go to Varanasi, you must go thru Delhi airport, clear customs and catch a local flight. More to come on the TR once all my pictures are synced to iCloud & downloaded.
