Well, I made it y’all! After close to twenty hours in the air (with at least an hour of circling over Philadelphia, waiting for ground clearance) I am safely checked in and chilling in INDIA! The flights were great, the staff on each flight was phenomenal and even thought I almost had to check my carry on in Qatar (I didn’t know there was a carry on weight limit but I cried my way out of it #judgeme) I made it unscathed. I will admit getting in at 4:00 am was not how I thought my day would start but I have to be flexible! We have a LONG day ahead and I’ll sleep later. So within three hours of arrival, I met a monkey on a leash. I was outside of the hotel and this guy walked by with a monkey ON A LEASH! If that doesn’t emphasize how far away from home I am, I don’t know what does. The security guy asked if I wanted the meet the monkey. I chickened out and said no, not meet but see. We both laughed and he called the monkey and his owner back over and I just watched him chill out and chop on his leaves. I. WAS. SHOOK! A monkey. On a leash. Living his best life, unbothered by spectators. I hope to achieve this level of zen one day.
As afraid as I was, I’m excited for this entire experience! For security reasons, I can’t disclose my exact location but just know I’m in India, living my BEST life!
This one time in India, I met a monkey on a leash!
This one time in India...
