After an uneventful but good flight we landed in sunny Mumbai. We were the first ones off the plane and into immigration and baggage claim, changed some money and headed for our ride to the hotel. The hotel upgraded our ride to a very nice BMV series 5 car. We arrived to the hotel at 9:30 in the morning and after a security screening, we were cheked in privately in our suite. OMG. :-) Our Imperial suite, the hotel`s grandest is a 180 square meters two bedroom su...

After a 20 minute taxi ride, we arrived to an almost empty airport and within 20 miutes we were duty-freeing. My suitcase was picked up for random inspection, too. :-) We then proceeded to take our free magazines and to King David lounge, which was very nice with food, massage and spa options. We boarded the plane and enjoyed the business class seats and crew`s attention. The food was great (although Kosher for passover) and we landed half an hour before the pla...

Well, I opted for a (very cheap) upgrade to our Tel-Aviv - Mumbai flight and against all odds, my offer won, so we're going in style - business class (although it's El Al...). Let's hope it's a good setup on the plane and that we're able to get at least SOME sleep, as it's a redeye flight. Happy Passover, everyone. :)

Well, it's time to start packing for our trip. This time, we ought to keep it light, due to the fact that some of the domestic flights in India only allow 20 KG per suitcase and the international ones allow 23-25 KG. Anyways, as the weather will be VERY hot, we'll only need light clothes. We're almost there, and the excitement is already here. :)

WOW, time does pass quickly when you are getting ready for a trip. :) All of the most important stuff is already ready. We still have to print some vouchers, book some rides and get some confirmation, but all in all - we are nearly set to go. Now let's hope to have a great Sedder next week and off we go. :)
