airport. It was fileld with hours of trying desperately to get a straight answer on what other flights we could take en route to Los Angeles. We were told that we would have to wait until the next flights going to Europe left and that would be either in a few hours or the next day. There was only one person working at the airport to assist passengers with this process and he would often disappear for hours at a time only to show up for a few minutes and disappear again. Needless to say, we tried to be patient, but we were tired and just wanted to get ourselves booked on a flight so we knew where we would be going and when we would be leaving. Probably around 2pm when this gentleman returned to the customer service counter (a great little desk that had no phone, paper, pencil, etc.) Jaci was able to work her magic and get 
things moving along. The customer service man told her, "I will take care of you and get you on a flight" and then he said come with me and we walked up some strange walkway and into a backroom where all of a sudden we sat down to a fantastic Indian lunch. It was all on the house and compliments of the mysterious customer service man who disappeared again.

It was all on the house and compliments of the mysterious customer service man who disappeared again. Two hours later we finally had a breakthrough. He had agreed to allow us to fly to Hong Kong and then to Los Angeles! We had asked him if we could do this same plan hours ago and he declined saying we cannot go to Hong Kong and must go to Europe. I guess Jaci said
all the right things and before you know it we have tickets in hand for a flight...in seven hours. We found a cafe to rest our heads for the next few hours. Matt fell asleep for about an hour. And to our suprise, the customer service man appeared again later that night and brought us back to the secret room where we were served the BEST vegetarian Indian meal we both had ever had. Our taste buds were out of control with excitement! Oh Delhi Airport!!!

point there was no stopping us - we were so close. During the flight delay Jaci made a great friend in a chinese buddhist monk. We tried very hard to maintain a dialogue and in the end made a very good friend. Then we finally took off and although we were beginning to feel a lot like Tom Hanks in The Terminal we ached to think what would four weeks in India have been like. As our stomachs were content with the taste of India in our bellies we both promised to return soon.
