Almost over

Hyderabbey is drawing to a close. There will be lingering memories for years. 'Twas up early today and off to the office for the last hurrah. We ended up ordering in for lunch with many thanks to the Hyderabad office (Raju, Chandra, Aditya, Naresh, Vasu) for footing the bill. I went with Chandra this morning to look for kurta, one of many traditional India clothing for men. The 44 was the biggest that we could find after going to three stores. That is my size in Canada and naturally the sizing here is different.

After work Aditya and I went to Mainland China for a bite. Aditya said he was not very hungry so only ate almost everything on the plates we ordered. Wow can that man eat :). I am back at Katriya doing a bit of work then off to the port at 1:00am. The bill assembly at the front desk when I returned from dinner was a site to behold. There were some very high-level discussions between Raju and no less than four attendants and VPs while the details of the charges were sorted out. Raju was supposed to get some shampoo for me to take back to Jennifer at the office, but he was unable to get what she was looking for.

The goodbyes where heart felt and I thanked all in the office for everything and making my stay here so warm and enjoyable. I leave HYD at 3:44am for a 4h40m flight to Doha. I do not remember the layover there, but next is the 14h journey to Montreal. I have a layover there of over four hours, then home by 6:10pm eastern.

Good night Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are ... well maybe; depends how much of a debacle the flights home turn out to be. If nothing to report, then the good night will stand. If a debacle on the second degree or higher, there will be more for your reading pleasure ...
