Our journey to New Delhi

Well, we arrived in New Delhi at about 2:00 AM on February 3rd, 2017.

Our total flight time was between 20-22 hours, with a one hour layover in London, UK.

British Airways was lovely. The food wasn't too bad. However, neither of us slept on the way here. Our first night we slept 14 hours.

Things I've learned in our first 24 hours here:

1. They drive on the left side of the road here.
2. Research which type of plug converter you need. It is difficult finding one in a different country.
3. Jet lag sucks.
4. Indians are very nice!
5. There are security men everywhere in the airport with guns. Big guns, and I don't mean muscles. This is a little alarming when you're a Canadian never having seen a gun before.

We had dinner in the restaurant downstairs - most of the food was Indian, which I am a fan of. My Mom however, will take some time to adjust to the spices (LOL).

Tomorrow we meet with Lis Wiberg, the case manager for HSCT patients at Artemis Hospital.

For now, it's some more sleep and some Netflix.

Mom and I on the plane to New Delhi. As you can see, we were a bit tired, especially Mum :)

  1. Hi Susan, yes the hospital manages all of the rides. You don't need to have money for a taxi or call one. They pick you up at pre-arranged times from the airport and hotel and take you from the hospital to the airport after treatment.
