27th May 2023.
We landed in San Francisco, on Saturday, 20th May via Dubai. We will be here for 50 days,(Due to Lalitha's coaching sessions back home, we need to be back early) with Shravan (Cupertino) and Radha (Foster City) 30 miles from each other (Radha lives near San Francisco Airport!). This is Lalitha's first visit outside India.!
As of now, we have no plans of visiting anywhere outside California during this trip, as we want to spend time with children and enjoy the moment.
I plan to work weekly updates, as we see things here. My first,on a personal visit after dozens of visits on corporate, which would make seeing "The American Land" a lot different than charging everything to an AMEX Charge card as well as living in Hotels!!!
Key Highlights:- (Week 1).
- A -380 amazing aircraft. No noise, turbulence, very quiet. Emirates folks are very courteous. Good food, we didnt take our packed food... Gave to Radha and Shravan... The Lounge in Dubai, was world class, we got enough time for a good breakfast there!
- Visited 2 Indian temples. Beauty is all spectrum of Hindu gods covered under one roof, to feel all divinity in one place.
- Apna Bazar ( Indian grocery shop - massive scale) 4 times, I am tired... People throng for free Indian masala tea... So many Indians are here as in Bangalore.
- After 30 years I am eating leftovers (Indian dosa with sambar for breakfast, as nobody out there to give food away)
- Shravan and Eshwar are awesome drivers...... Glad Shravan picked up driving.. !
- We are able to walk a lot; a park is nearby.....
- Visited Stanford University, great feeling, personally feel good to be inside Harvard and MIT (2001) and now Stanford..
- We are on the way now to Los Angeles for Memorial day weekend travel ( Friday to Monday)...!
- Sunshine till 9pm... Sunrise 445am....
So far so good... We have mostly overcome Jet lag a lot. (Traveling west is never an issue)...
Karthik.
Stop at Coalinga, CA on way to LA.
