Ho John Lee’s Weblog

I had an extra-long 4th of July, returning to the US from India. Departed from Chennai just after midnight local time out there (11:30am PDT on the 3rd), arrived at SFO this morning at around 9am PDT. Total door-to-door time from Bangalore to Palo Alto for this trip was about 30 hours, a little shorter than usual because the connecting times in both Singapore and Narita were relatively tight.

My checked luggage hasn’t made it back yet, I’m guessing it missed the connection at Narita. I only had about 10-15 minutes before boarding for the NRT-SFO segment, but I managed to squeeze in a quick shower at the United Red Carpet Club by taking the stairs instead of the escalators and snagging the last remaining room. I also got to try out the little intercom panel in the shower room, as they called to tell me the flight was boarding just as I was finishing up. The flight to San Francisco had a relatively light load, probably due to the long weekend in the US, there were a number of open seats in all cabins.

As much as I enjoy experiencing different parts of the world, one of my favorite things about travelling is returning home.
