Last night in NYC

I had an official going-away party Sunday before I left which was such a treat. As Thursday was my last night in NYC I had another little party. After a long day of errand and a few hours in the office I met up with Kelly for my favorite cocktails at Il Bastardo

Then I scurried back to Glenn's house with a bottle of bubbles. Nathan, Glenn and I sat on the couch with take-out Thai watching the Olympics and finished the night with the world's best cake.

It was a perfect NYC night.

Business class is the worlds greatest invention

The trip to Mumbai couldn't have been better! The hardest part was getting my bags down from Glenn's 3rd floor walk-up where I was staying for a couple days since my sub letter moved in on August 1st. Once I made it down to the street I don't think I picked up the combined 120 lbs once! The next highlight of the trip was skipping all the lines because I was in business class. The united lounge was amazing and my seat went completely flat. I got a solid 10 hours of sleep on the plane sandwich by a private viewing of "5 year engagement" and a few episodes of "30 rock". I felt a certain sense of "homecoming" when upon arriving at the Mumbai airport I found a squat toilet. Many of you know my conviction that if I ever built a home I would put in some squat toilets. Below you can see why.

This is so surreal

Off we go!

Sitting in the first class lounge waiting for my flight to be called. Boarding soon for my new adventure in India. I am currently most excited to have a business class seat experience.

Secondarily feeling very curious as to what the next 6 months have in store. What will my manager be like? What will compensation work entail? Who will I hang out with? How much of a Indian vs western life will I lead?
Oh boy oh boy!!!!
