Mythic Travels
At this stage of my India tour my consistent travel companion literally comes along in my suitcase!
Ganesha, god education, knowledge, wisdom and wealth, is on his way to a good friend who asked me to transport him. I think he's doing his famous bit of "overcoming obstacles" as we travel (maybe so he can get home in one piece?)
Today was the worst experience I have ever had with an airline. In the end I am only limping along with a damaged wheelchair and was not dropped from the stairway up to the airplane as nearly happened. To add intentional insult to barely-avoided injury the spokesperson of the boarding assistance crew accused me of holding up the plane even though I arrived at the airport 30 minutes before he even checked in for work today.
Elephants walk rather silently for their bulk and seem to overcome obstacles with their momentum. Regardless of today's setbacks we are on a roll in India improving travel and leisure opportunities for all. That includes this fun group from Florida who I chatted with while we waited for our flights.
