I never get tired of watching "Coming to America" with Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall. A great movie made even better by the various Soul Glo advertisements and sound bites. Enjoy!

Months have passed since my India trip, and I've returned with wonderful memories.
Just a quick picture of the bride and groom.




Hope to be blogging again soon!
Until then.

Audrey, Valeh and I are at Heathrow airport waiting for our flight from London to Mumbai, which is scheduled to leave in a little under 2 hours.

Out first flight from Los Angeles went well; I slept through most of it! After being so nervous and stressed out, a little sleep was welcome.

By the way, Happy Mardi Gras! I didn't fully understand what the pilot said earlier, but apparently dinner tonight will be pancakes... Should be interesting!

Picture Heathrow Terminal 3, three LA women sitting in the duty free lounge waiting for their gate number to show up on the reader board. Restless, I get up to check out the Dixon's store for a small case for my camcorder. On my way back, who do I see sitting but a few feet away from us... Tony, Caroline's step father. What are the odds?!? Although, also heading to Mumbai, he was flying a half hour earlier via Jet Air. We chatted a bit; the girls also went over to say hi and then went back to reading, blogging, people watching, and WAITING...

4 minutes to 8pm and any minute now the reader board should be changing... Sure enough, Mumbai flight VS350 - gate 1.

And after a 5 minute walk through the cold halls, here we are at our gate for some more waiting until boarding.

I'm not sure how the girls feel, but I haven't yet fully realized we're going to India. I mean obviously I know that that's our final destination, but I don't think that it's hit me yet that in less than 10 hours we will be in Mumbai. This is absolutely insane and so exciting!!!

I was looking up some information on Virgin Atlantic's website and came across a link to discovering one's British name. Apparently, if I'm to fit into British society seamlessly during my visit, I would need a guaranteed genuine British name, so... they came up with...

Lady Kitty Featherstonehaugh

Thoughts?

I just downloaded this application called BlogWriter with the hopes that while in India, rather than have to use the hotel computer, I could simply take advantage of my iPhone to post updates.
Anyway, this is just a quick test to see if and how this works. So, here goes nothing...

After talking to the bride-to-be, I was worried that there wouldn't be any ferries leaving Mumbai for Elephanta Island due to the the recent terrorist attacks. Eager to visit the caves, I decided to send several tour companies inquiries. 

• Entrance charges to the Elephanta caves for all 10 persons.
• Ferry (Luxury) charges from Gateway of India to Elephanta Caves and back for all 10 persons.
• Guide charges during your sightseeing tour of Elephanta Cave.
• Your ground transfer from the place of your stay to Gateway of India and back to the place of your stay through an air conditioned Tempo Traveler.
• All kind of luxury and state taxes.
• Government Service tax.
