Cheese Burgers



I realize I am not has good as Eric in keeping up with posts, and he is a much better chronologist than I, see his Blog.. http://ejduffy.blogspot.com/ ..but things have changed since my last post.


Never had a desire for Cheeseburgers; however, here was a tease:





So I am thankful for the time I got to send with my team in Pune. Although we live worlds apart, we have the same values, enjoying family, looking to better ourselves, while also realizing that while on our trip around the sun we need to enjoy everyday life. I really enjoyed my time with each person, Sarang, Vipul, Paromita, Sriram, and Karunakar.



However, the time here in Pune had to end and I was looking forward to my next adventure in Manila, thinking I had escaped without too much financial damage. I had bought some little trinkets for Kelsey and Dylan and thought I was safe. Except that knucklehead (Duffy) had to find something that Mrs. Robinson had purchased last time he was in India which sent us off to the best friend I ever had who took all my money and made me feel great about it. They made some amazing cravings out of something called softstone or jade, truly amazing if true, so I bought. Hope the pics do justice because if the story of how women with small hands and sharp tools carve these things out of solid jade is true, it is amazing.

So, after our last meeting and goodbyes, it was time to make our way to Manila. But first we had to get to Chennai via Kingfisher Airlines. Now who ever owns Kingfisher is suppose to be the Indian Richard Branson but I think he forgot about people with legs longer than three feet.

Anyway, we got to Chennai, had a good beer there, Kingfisher is good for something, highly recommend the beer if you can get it, and it was time to head to Singapore.

I sat next to a guy from Arizona who has been working in India for 10 years and needed to either get a life or I am jealous. He works in Chennai during the week and fly’s to Singapore for the weekend to have fun and the stories he told me makes me…………………

So we spend some time in the Singapore Airlines lounge which was great and finally head to Manila. Slept all the way there with one thought and dream:
