Woot!

My hosts in India wrote to say:

Hi Chris, 

Do you like to change your flights to Sunday May 15 instead,. you will still
arrive back in US on SUnday.

Coz Rajiv has made a great suggestion to visit Taj on Saturday morning which
is 2.5Hrs drive from New Delhi.

LEt us know if you like to do a Apple Family tour after all hardwork in the
week :)

To which I say: “Hell yeah!” with a refrain of “my life ROCKS!”

Just called United, and re-confirmed one of my personal rules of travel which is to always, always, always deal with the international desk if it’s at all possible. The airline scale of competence and power to bend the rules goes from zero (the guy taking your luggage at the electronic check-in desk) to infinite power to bend the laws of space and time and reshape reality itself (the international help desk at their hub). I spoke to a nice lady who switched my tickets and gave me back the difference in fares ($2.35). It took three minutes on the phone.
