Stuck In Guwahati!

Well, you couldn't expect a month long trip half way around the world to go without ANY monkey wrenches, could you?

After making the four hour drive from Shillong to the airport here in Guwahati yesterday, we went to check in for our supposedly 1:30 PM flight, only to find out the flight had left at 9:50 AM. They said they had sent an email a few days earlier that apparently landed in cyberspace somewhere.

Being in a strange town with no one that you know and no place to go is not the best feeling in the world, but again the people from Shillong came through! I had called Remkung, our contact in Shillong, as soon as we found out about the flight. He immediately called our driver, who came back to the airport and made all the arrangements for us stay in a hotel in Guwahati.

So, we are back at the airport where our flight is supposed to be leaving at 9:50 AM, which is in an hour. From here we fly to Aizawl, where we will be received by Paul and Joyful Chonzik, who were the leaders of the 2006 India Children's Choir.

NOTE: I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE EMAILS OF THIS POST ARE NOT VERY TIMELY. IT SEEMS THAT SOMETIME THEY DO NOT GET SENT OUT UNTIL ALMOST A DAY AFTER THEY ARE POSTED. YOU CAN READ THE POSTS RIGHT AFTER THEY ARE MADE BY VISITING WWW.MICHAELESH.BLOGSPOT.COM.
