Got up at 7:30 AM to go into the office for a bit. Returned to the hotel for lunch and to check out. Left the hotel at 2:00 for Mumbai.
Arrived at the Mumbai airport at 5:30 PM. The driver was supposed to take me for sightseeing and dinner first. So we had to return to Mumbai.
Was a 2 hour drive to the other side of Mumbai. I was not due back at the airport until 9:00 PM at the very earliest.
Dropped me off at a beach area so I could walk around a little bit before my flights.
I was hoping for 2 hours of sightseeing yet a few minutes is better than nothing.
Went to Gaylord restaurant's Churchgate location for dinner. Historic location is quite nice. I prefer the more casual outdoor seating.
The driver dropped me off at the airport promptly at 9:00 PM. Emirates airline would not allow me to checkin for my 4:20 AM flight until 12:30 AM. I couldn't clear the security check without a boarding pass so I paced the length of the airport countless times until I could check in.
Cleared security at 1:00 AM and cruised the duty free shops for several hours before boarding my 4:20 AM flight.
Slept for just a moment during the 3 hour flight to Dubai. In Dubai I ordered fresh juice and browsed more duty free shops during the 3 hour stopover. Finally boarded the 15 1/2 hour flight from Dubai to San Francisco. After breakfast I got some sleep yet was continuously awoken by screaming infants and toddlers seated around me.
Landed in SFO, got my bag, met my driver and got home around 2:30 PM. Stayed awake until about 4:30, I think. It was a 46 hour day.
