Made it to Mumbai! !! Flights were tight but no troubles. Heidi was able to sleep great on the flights - I did my usual head bob/ wake up routine but got a little sleep. I was showing Heidi the picture of the birthday cake that mom had made me with the huge mountain on top when one of the flight attendants came along and commented on it. She was amazed at first that Kara's and my birthday was the same day and also amazed at the cake. Then she asked when the birthday was. It was 2355 at the time so I said, "I guess its in five minutes! " Next thing I knew she was back to my seat with some expensive chocolate and a glass of champagne! In a real glass even! She said " hey it only happens once a year, you deserve it!" Then got here to hotel and checked in with passports. After showering and getting ourselves ready to turn in the phone rang. Heidi answered and said "its for you". It was the owner of the hotel calling to wish me happy birthday! Said he was going over our paperwork and said " its shelley's birthday!" so had to call. So funny. Catching a few winks now and then looking around city some when we get up. Heading to Kathmandu to tonight! !
Happy Birthday Shelley! Happy you are getting spoiled internationally!
