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!!!
