From Myrtle

Been thinking about India, so many amazing things to remember. Late one afternoon we took a drive of about an hour to the Bay of Bengal. We parked near a fishing village and walked down to the beach. Of course Peggy and I took off our sandals and waded in the warm water.
Because it was so dark we saw so many more stars than are visible here in Florida, it was very beautiful. As we stood on the beach looking up to that inky black sky, it was like watching God turn on the stars one by one. There is no way to photograph something like that, but it is one of those memories that will stay in my mind.
We will be leaving in just 19 days, time to start thinking of what to pack, have to keep the suitcase weight down, overweight charges are high on the Indian airlines.
Our flight to Newark will be about 3 hours, we have a 4 hour layover, then the 14 1/2 hour flight to Delhi. We arrive late evening, hope for a good nights rest before we fly to Chennai and are met by Minnu Joshua for the 5 hour drive to Ongole. This adds up to more than 30 hours travel time (counting the 4 hours in Newark). India time is 10 1/2 hours ahead of EST. Makes me tired just thinking about all of the travel, but then I think of seeing the Joshua family and the children and it is worth it all.
The next blogs will be from India, if their computer is working and the inter net is not down.
