I didn't sleep all last night in anticipation of this trip. There were some last minute concerns over exactly what I should pack, and whether I really knew what I was getting myself into. It was warm as the taxi took me to the airport for the 7:15 PM flight, which began with a short leg to Cincinnati. I would be taking Delta Airlines to Delhi, then Indian Airlines to Kathmandu.
As I boarded the plane, I noticed that my Nikon camera was missing: I almost left it on the seat in the boarding area. My backpack just barely fit in the overhead compartment. In Cincinnati, I only had 45 minutes to make the connection to Frankfurt, but the plane arrived on time and this turned out to be no problem. The flight to Frankfurt was very long, and I slept a lot. We saw an in-flight movie, Renaissance Man with Danny DeVito.
