I'm back!!! Finally made it back to DIS, thanks for keeping me on page 1! That trip was by far the most exhausting business trip I have ever been on! Flew out on Monday, got in Tuesday night. Spent all day Wednesday exploring, had our loooong meeting on Thu and worked all day Friday. Saturday went to Taj Mahal, which is a HORRIBLY long and stressful 5hr drive each way! Totally worth it, but what a tiring experience. Sunday we flew to Jodhpur, with a layover in Udaipur. These are TINY airports, and we were on a prop plane with 56 passengers. During the layover, they leave you sitting in the plane on the tarmac for 1+ hours. Mind you, the temperature is over 110 deg F. Now, I'm from AZ, but the humidity was way more than I am used to and it was miserable! When we finally got to Jodhpur, we had a 4.5hr drive to Jaisalmer. Exhausting day!
The next day (Monday) we spent at the location we will be working at in July. They had a record temperature of 123 deg F. Splendid... We did tour a fort and actually I prefer Jaisalmer over Delhi any day! It'll be neat to explore the area in July. Later that day, we drove back to Jodhpur, and my adventurous buddy and I hiked through the desert to find an old temple and came across a huge palace. The other 4 we were with chickened out and went straight to the airport. Probably smart on their part because I was so hot I didn't cool down for HOURS. Horrible hot flight with sweltering layover, then back to our nice hotel in Delhi. Tuesday was a blur, I can't remember what we did, so we must have worked. Wednesday was another site survey at an air base outside of Delhi (1 hour drive from hell each way). We were supposed to go to the Himalaya location on Fri, but that got canceled, so we were able to leave on the midnight flight Wed/Thu. Yippee!!!
My kitchen looks AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! When everything is completely installed (just ordered all new appliances, they will be delivered next Sat) I will post a picture.
Weight-wise.... I was 137.0 when I left for India, and when I came back I was 138.0. Not bad considering I didn't work out a single time while I was there... Haven't been paying attention to food at all this past weekend, but I did work out for the first time in about 2 weeks this morning. And it felt GOOD! I plan to stick to 5-6x a week, because I'll be back in India for 2-3 weeks in July and I know I won't be working out there...
