the beautiful part about flying to india…hmm…let me count.  honestly…absolutely nothing.  this is one long-ass journey and it can feel pretty miserable at times when you’re packed in like sardines and you haven’t brushed your teeth for 24 hours.  minty gum is a decent substitute. 

thankfully, the flight from LA to japan had 92 people on it. tasha and i each took a row and stretched out.  we slept a good chunk of the way so the first 14 hours weren’t that bad.  on demand tv with each seat meant i could watch all kinds of movies.  rumor has it.  derailed.  (had a jennifer aniston marathon going for a bit.)  rent.

i always make sure to have a special meal selected - asian veg.  that means daal and rice and naan, which is perfect.  you never know what you’re going to get otherwise and the worst is to be hungry on the flight.  pretty hard for that to happen cuz they feed you every 3 hours.

had a pretty bad sore throat for the past week.  coughing and all.  so i was disciplined enough to not partake in the free liquor.  got a gig on friday.  have to save my voice.  the sore throat is almost healed. 

i brought my video camera to document all of the hangama (craziness) in india.  we started taping as we were taking off in japan.  it was like a diary moment from real world.  i’m definitely going to interview some taxi cab drivers and samata wants me to ask savio (our label rep who is fully indian) who he got the name, savio baretto?!? 

more soon i’m sure.  i will try to write pretty frequently.  right now, i’m going to grab a towel from the lounge reception lady and take a long hot shower!

please send good wishes and lots of prayers…i would love that!
