First Trip To US

My First Trip To US... Should I say 'Around The World In Five Weeks'... hmm .. not yet as it is yet to be over ...

Well.... It has been quite a few days I have been here in SFO(San Francisco)

I started from Hyderabad on Feb 24 night along with my team mate Allen. The CAB(a whilte coloured LANCER) was waiting for me downstairs at my apartments. I took the two big Suitcases along with a shoulder bag. I had to leave from my Apartment and go to Ameerpet to pick up my team mate. After picking him up, we both started towards what was going to be our maiden trip the so called US. On the way we had to go the sweet shop(Pulla Reddy's) to get some sweet for our Indian counterparts working in the US. We bought around two kilo of sweets with us.



Our first destination was Singapore. The flight to Singapore got delayed by an hour as they had to deport a person for security reasons. This was just when the flight was ready tp take off. Huh... at least they were good enough to find a security breach before the flight took off..

Inside the flight they had this Video on Demand facility...It was a four hours flight and in those four hours I found time to eat and wathc 'Parineeta'. We landed on to Singapore at around 7:00 in the morning.

The Changi airport is quite a Big one and it in itself will require half a day for sight seeing. We did not want to waste time. So we took the next available free tour. The tour we took was a Cultural tour and took us to the Asean museum over there. It was a nice one and a half hour tour in and around Singapore. I would say you need to go around on your own to see more but if you are there for the first time, such tours may help you.

After having completed the tour, we went to book a room in Airport butb had to satisy us with and entry in one of the private lounge. We then went inside, took a bath over there, freshened ourselves up and started searching for an Indian restaurant. We ended up going to on in Terminal 1 called Kaveri.

After that, it was just romaing about in the airport. We were there in the airport till 5. Then we had to board the Singapore airlines to SFO.

The journey to SFO was a long one. Thanks GOD...I got an aisle seet and that helped me stretch my legs. I reached SFO at around 7 in the night. My teammates were there waiting for me. They took me to the hotel. And after that it was a long sleep in the hotel.
