This has to be the longest journey I’ve ever taken! About 24 hours in the air total, easily 36 hours total travel time including layovers. Two legs on Delta, one KLM, one Jet Airways. KLM by far the nicest! Free wine and nice food…

If you look on a globe, K-k-k-k-Kathmandu is nearly exactly halfway around the planet. And part of why that’s interesting to me is what we flew over enroute. These last couple hours we’ve passed over Afghanistan and Pakistan, flying roughly southwest of Kabul and Islamabad, respectively. Somehow that’s fascinating in some way to me…

Approaching Delhi now, I recall the mandatory fumigation that occurs on all airlines prior to landing in India. Yuk!

Okay, in Delhi airport now…noticing all these mosquitoes that keep buzzing me inside this huge modern airport???

Should arrive KTM about five hours from now…
