Fly to Chennai via Doha

Miami to Doha to Chennai

Tuesday, August 16, 2016

I flew to Chennai (MAA), India from Tallahassee today afternoon. The overall flight was through the One World Alliance partner airlines American Airlines and Qatar Airways. My TLH to MIA flight was through Envoy Air 3462, a subsidiary of American Airlines and left around 4:00 PM and arrived after an hour at Miami.

Then, I had to wait until 7:15 PM for boarding the Qatar Airways flight QR778 to Doha, Qatar and so I had some food at the D-Terminal of the Miami airport as E-Terminal the choices were limited. My next flight was about 13 1/2 hours long.

Travel from Denver to home

Denver to Tallahassee

Wednesday, July 27, 2016

After successfully finishing the 66th Annual Meeting of the American Crystallographic Association at Denver, CO and after giving oral presentation, I left early morning from Denver, CO via Dallas Fort Worth, TX back to Tallahassee, FL.

Unlike the way in where I had plenty of time to take public transit, I had to rent a car to get to the airport since the public transit didn't start until 5:45 AM and I had to be at the airport earlier than 6:30 AM for my 8:00 AM flight.

Then from Dallas-Fort Worth, TX, I took another flight back to Tallahassee, FL.

I left this morning to Denver, CO in American Airlines from Tallahassee via Dallas-Fort Worth, TX. My first flight was from Tallahassee International Airport (TLH) to Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas. The flight left around 6:40 PM local time and after approximately 2 hours landed in DFW airport at 7:30 AM local time.

After a short break I left on my next American Airlines 620 flight from Dallas Fort Worth, Texas airport to Denver, CO airport. This flight was about the same time as the first one and arriving around 9:45 AM at the local time.

I gathered my luggage and left the airport and bought a 5-day pass for the 2-stage public transport than included the train from airport to my hotel in Englewood, CO.

I then traveled in University of Colorado Line A from Airport to Downtown, Denver, CO. 

Then I took the Mall ride bus and took train E (actually I made a mistake and took the wrong D-train) to Dry Creek Station. 

Visit Ringling Museum

John and Mable Ringling Museums

Sarasota, FL

Friday, May 6, 2016

Bhanu and I visited the John and Mable Ringling Museums in Sarasota (SRQ), Florida. We arrived around 11 AM after driving for about 45 minutes from Clearwater, FL. Since The Ringling Museum is part of the Florida State University and since I am faculty at FSU, I got a special rate while Bhanu paid the full amount.

The Ringling located on a 20 acre property off of the Sarasota Bay on the west coast of Florida peninsula has many individual museums: the circus museum, the Tibbals Learning Center, Mable's Rose Garden, Ca' d'Zan (House of John in Venetian dialect), Banyan Cafe, Center for Asian Art (opening in May 2016), Museum of Art, and Searing Wing.

We saw many of the buildings including the Tibbals, circus museum, the rose garden, the Ca' d'Zan, Asian Art, Museum of Art, and ate at the Banyan Cafe. The weather was perfect and unusually cool and dry (78F) for an early May.

We spent almost 6 hours at the museums and left around 4 PM toward Palm Harbor.
