20th October :

I was so excited to visit Seattle and so, I started packing our luggage bags 4 days ahead ( yea that sounds silly ;) ).. counting every day ... when would 20th arrive. And at last! the day arrived.

We decided to drive down to the san jose airport and park our car in the long term parking. It was thursday evening, we started early so that we could reach the airport within time(cannot trust the trafic jams in california)... but we were quite early. Our flight was at 8:06 p.m .. n we checked in at 6:00... 2 solid hrs.. n didn't know what to do... went around.. n luckly there was a restaurant and while we were having our dinner , the flight attendant announced that the our flight was delayed for 45 mins :o .. we just looked at each other faces..Great! now what do we do? How about a game of tic-tac-toe! ;) .. finally our flight arrived at 8 : 50(glad it finally arrived!).. we called our cousin to let him know that we were starting.. we checked in.. grabbed our respective seats.. ah! what a relief .. It was a 2 hr journey and we had lotssa fun solving a crossword puzzle from the in-flight magazines through out.

Finally! we reached the Seattle airport.. picked up our bags and we came out waiting for our cousin and his wife to pick us up. It was great to meet my brother and bhabhi after a gap of 3 years!! we kept them awake till 2 in the night with our banter !! felt like good ol' times !
