At 12:50PM I was there at Dulles airport. I had to go to terminal C for which there was a Shuttle service at the airport. For the first time I had seen such a big, huge and spacious shuttle. Got on the terminal had something to eat and then what to do….because my connecting flight was at 6:06PM….almost five hours to go. So what else…found a hotspot and got a 24hr (paid) Net Connection from TMobile. I found it useful as I chatted with many of friends, checked my emails (had many e-cards in my inbox) and also did some of my project work from the airport J I even got a surprise bday gift (Electronic Sudoku puzzle) on the Dulles airport from one of my friend in Raleigh. I never expected such a surprise and hence will never forget it. Finally at 5:30, boarding call came for the passengers of flight UA918 and then I made some last minute calls to few of my friends in Raleigh to bid them goodbye because after this (i.e. outside US) my cell phone was not going to work. At the gate they took our I-94 form wishing us happy & safe journey. It was almost 8 hours flight till London. I know…it was very long and tiring trip…but I was very excited to reach home. Got a corner/aisle seat 41G in the middle column. Saw few movies…obviously Angrezi flick hence got bored very soon and slept in between. Then we were served with Dinner…mine was special Indian Veggie platter…wanna know what??? Naan, Chhole, Paneer & Mix Veg, Pulao, Salad and Badam halwa….it was really good. Then after sometime they served some snacks and drinks.
