Landed in Lansdale ...!!

Early hours of 22nd September ... Mr and Mrs Mukherjee arrived at the Hilton Homewood Suites, Lansdale, in a Lincoln (costed a mere $260), from Newark after a gruelling 22 hours of journey from uptown Kolkata ... The lag had taken its toll, wide awake and no signs of imminent slumber ... we chatted, explored the lovely suite, watched the pool below, and were suddenly consious of the lack of noise, dust and of all humans .... I had to go to office the next day and that was not very amusing, given that I would be awake for more than 36 hours by the time I reach there ...




First things first .. I called up home and Mrs Mukherjee followed suit. The kitchen was picture perfect .. but somehow the ovens didn't work and we made some noodles in the microwave ...

We forced ourselves to sleep ... kept tossing and turning till the morning bathed in golden glory beckoned us to a propah american breakfast in the hotel lobby. The breathtaking view of the hotel then struck us ... it was really cool. The manic monday crowd had gone by our late post nine breakfast congregation ... we enjoyed the luxuriously fluffy omlettes and crushed apple juice ... perfect beginning to a perfect day ... or was it ?
