Day 3: Wait, what happened to Day 3?

Day Three Jan 16


What happened to Saturday?? We left Fri night Jan 15 at 10:40pm flying east over the Atlantic. I vaguely remember seeing SOME daylight out the window but by the time we landed it was a little after 6pm and already dark out. I'd rather lose a Tuesday or Wednesday, not Saturday.

So, now we're in Qatar. It's a beautiful airport but, still an airport. We got a great view of the Doha skyline getting off of our plane and saw a beaustiful mosque lit up in the night sky on the shuttle to the terminal (oh yeah, quick sidebar...we exited from the front AND the back of the plane. Plane was emptied in about 15 min. Wow, efficiency!). So now we're waiting for our flight to Chennai. We have a pretty full three weeks ahead of us including us getting a chance to experience the Indian Independence Festival on Jan 26 which celebrates India's independence as a country. I'm really excited to learn more Indian culture, see the level of volleyball, the exchanging of ideas in coaching and training. It's almost time to start making non stop jokes about going out and getting Indian food. Mark will definitely hate me by the end of the trip.

Time to board our flight to Chennai. Next stop...India!
