1st Leg - DFW to ORD



The first leg, from Dallas to Chicago, is complete. We arrived in Chicago about 5pm. Our 777 dwarfed the other nearby planes. In the waiting area by Gate K-19, there are not enough people to fill this beast. Maybe they bus them in from somewhere else.

Here is a photo of the 777 outside the airport gate window. The glare is bad and this is not a good picture but they frown on going outside to get a photo from the tarmac.

The other picture is of my clothes compression bag into which I squeeze all my clothes and press the air out. It reduces the space but not the weight. Kingfisher Airlines in Delhi weighed my bags and insisted on checking them. I did and the process was painless.

More later. We'll depart at 7:20pm Friday and arrive in Delhi at 8:30pm Saturday. It is going to be a long flight and they promise meals and sleeping quarters. We'll see.
