Lucas Wiman - Getting to Nepal

So as I sit and type this at 1:44 AM Delhi, India time I can really think about what has transpired the past however many days/hours since I left the airport in Chicago. I have lost track due to the crazy time changes and whatnot. First of all, Dan almost missed the flight to Zurich because of delays on his flight to Chicago from Tulsa- that would have been interesting. Once we got settled in on the 8 hour flight it got better though. We basically skipped Sunday night, I think it was dark for about 2.5 hours over the ocean before it was morning in Europe. That was really weird. Getting into Europe was awesome though, we got to see a ton of this Alps and really picture how big God is and how majestic He is…BEFORE we even get to the Himalayas. (oh and while I’m thinking of this, international flights are great. They have tv screens on the back of each seat with TONS of new movies and music, as well as places to plug in headphones and maps to track the flight.) Anyways, once we landed in Zurich it was so weird. The airport was like deserted until we finally realized that we were not where all of the shops and food was. But it still wasn’t too crowded. This was basically a mall. Leave it to those Swiss. Gucci, Blvgari, Polo, Swatch, etc. this was an upperscale mall where I couldn’t even afford a bracelet put inside an airport! It was crazy. The next flight to Delhi, India was super uneventful. Literally slept the entire time because it was dark and I was exhausted from the all-nighter. So now, after trouble in the Delhi airport getting our baggage tickets and boarding passes, which was frightening and annoying, we are sitting in this super nice “Premium Plaza Lounge” with free food, drinks, and wifi and it is quite nice. I am content for sure. We still have about 5 hours till the next and final flight to Kathmandu, which is only going to be about an hour long, but hopefully the scenery we are going to see is unreal! That’s all I have for now, enjoy your afternoon or whatever the time is there back home!! God bless
