This morning I went to Shenoy Nagar and from there headed toward the Poompuhar Shop at Anna Salai. On the way I stopped at Pachaiyappa’s college took some video, photos of the college, Chemistry department and hostel. I spoke to couple of current MSc Chemistry students and other faculty.

The smoke and city congestion was very bad and I had severe cough. I arrived at TTR house by 4 apm. Had shower, took Rx and slept for an hour.

Travel to Chennai via Frankfurt

Charlotte-Frankfurt-Chennai

Monday, July 18 - Tuesday, July 19, 2011

We left home around 9:05 AM. Our flight US Airways flight from Tallahassee to Charlotte was delayed but the weather was very nice. Clear day both in Tallahassee and Charlotte. So we made-up sometime.

We arrived at Charlotte and at the main gate area we ate lunch. Papa John’s pizza and Burger King. Our flight US 704 to Frankfurt was delayed and arrived at 3:30 PM. Soon we boarded the plane and left for Frankfurt. The US Airways flight was not comfortable. There was very little leg space and the food was okay and we had to pay for our extra luggage and ear-phones (didn't buy it). The weather in Frankfurt was sunny and we arrived only 25 minutes late.

Early in the afternoon we left for Chennai. The LH flight was much more comfortable and had channa masala dinner and I watched a free movie Rio. We finally arrived in Chennai just before mid-night Tuesday. Thiyagu was waiting and there was light rain. By the time I arrived home it was almost 2 AM.
