About traveling to India

I left early in the morning of October 10 for India. Took a taxi to the airport, and as outlined earlier, spent the next 24 hours traveling around to the other side of the Earth.

Once I collected my trek bag from the carousel I headed out the front door of Indira Gandhi International airport. I was inundated by the noise and the heat almost immediately. Thankfully my trek bag made me stand out to the person sent to collect me, he whisked me away quite quickly. The first night out I stayed at the Florence Inn:

Since I was only going to be here for a couple of hours, the room was adequate. Everything was marbeled. I was to find out that this is de rigueur for the country fairly quickly. I repacked for my traveling so that all I carried was my backpack and left my trek bag in the care of the hotel until I returned to Delhi. This became cause for questions because the later hotels kept looking for more bags.
