So we are off

When I booked India many months ago, it seemed like an eternity away. Although I never Wished the trip to happen sooner as I didn't want to wish days of Alessia's life away, I also had many other things to look forward to. But if I was really honest with myself, I was slightly apprehensive about it. The fact i was taking my most sacred possession  with me and i would never want to do anything to jeopardize her. But as the days came closer and research became more extensive all my worries floated away, and Instead I became curious about the Unknown.


I wasn't overly excited About the plane journey. Thirteen hour plane ride with a hyperactive toddler could be what some people call a nightmare. But in fact, it was a lovely experience. Myself and Alessia boarded the plane and not without making friends and waving at half the airplane. Her cute smile and friendly personally resulted in the Air hostess over looking my over weight bag and being given two seats to ourselves. I prayed that Alessia would sleep for some part of the journey. But it just wasn't to be, instead we inspected every inch of the plane. We walked up and down and up and down for five hours straight. Alessia stole the hearts of everyone that looked her way.



 When my meal arrived an incredible kind gentleman offered to walk up and down with her to give me some rest. There are so many kind people out there. Finally, after five hours of walking up and down Alessia fell asleep for the last two hours. We had a short stop over in Abu Dhabi and then boarded our plane to Bangalore. I was so excited to get on the plane. For years i had dreamt of coming to India and  I finally was. And it was only hours away. I have never in my life traveled on a plane with such amazing kind staff. They were playing and laughing with Alessia the whole way. One of the air hostess was exceptionally nice and was giving me places to visit making sure i knew people in India and helping so much with Alessia. The Journey actually was not too bad except I was wreaked from lack of sleep. So i had to remind myself to be more vigilant. Though everything was going as planned, no upsets or delays. Even my driver was waiting for me. When we got out of the car at our accommodation I could have collapsed on the spot, although the placed looked gorgeous. Alessia was so upset from the tiredness and needed sleep. I realized then that my money strap was gone with all my personal possessions. Not only passports, but all my bank cards. The tiredness was so crippling I actually didn't have the energy to worry. I stayed calm and did what you should always do at times like these. Prey to St Antony.
