New Delhi, here comes self!
After numerous bumblings, ditherings, late-night confabulations (with self, in her head), and much badgering of Newark Continental Baggage Office (“I need my bag! I forgot my medication inside! I won’t survive the long flight to New Delhi!), she is finally, finally “ready”. She has spritzed Chanel perfume (from a tester in the Duty Free store), and applied Estee Lauder lipstick, again from a tester.
Mrinalini’s last e-mail:
“A short, dark young man named Anand should be waiting just outside the green gate outside the Nothing to Declare exit …”
Stay tuned.

Safe travels! I’m FINALLY going back to Manila from 27 Feb to 19 Mar. Hello again after 34 years away. I’m ready and thrilled. Taking two daughters with me.
