The Journey Ends
After a tearful goodbye to the Griffith Students at 7:00, we had a few hours to pack before the bus took us to Bengaluru Airport at 10:45. We had plenty of time to kill before our flight left at 2:50 a.m. for Paris. We left Patrick behind because he was booked on flights for the following night. Joe also stayed an extra night on campus because he was heading for Amsterdam.
For some, airport check-in was an ordeal trying to ensure no checked bags weighed more than 22 kilos (30 pounds) and carry-on luggage needed to weigh less than 12 kilos.The flights were longer heading home because we were flying into the headwinds. The flight to Paris was over 10 hours. Here Terry and Tamara left the group for two days in the city. Alison left for a side trip to Spain and Morocco.
The flight to Detroit was another 9 hours. For most of the students, Detroit was the end of the line. Only my family, Ryan, Sheree, and Ricco continued on to Kalamazoo. I'll end the blog with the following two pictures taken from the plane. The first flight was almost entirely in darkness and most of the second flight was cloud-covered. However, the clouds cleared just in time to see Greenland.
