Was just cleaning up my laptop and came across this old trip report and photos that I apparently never quite completed or posted. Since I did write it, figure I may as well post it, but if I do say so myself, my other two trip reports are better reads!

1. My Lucky Day: SFO-PER in UA C/F and SQ Y
2. Thanksgiving in Colombo: SFO-CMB in UA C/Y and SQ old and new F

So without further ado:


Setting The Scene

This trip falls into a category that I’ve decided to call the “unplanned non-emergency.” I have no idea what that really means, but in this instance it translates to “a trip that I wasn’t necessarily required to take but felt compelled to embark on at somewhere approaching the last minute.”

A couple of personal matters to attend to in Chennai, coupled with the possibility of watching at least part of the crucial Cricket World Cup clash between New Zealand and Kenya (if you’re not a cricket aficionado, then just pretend I talked about watching a paint-drying competition). Why would one not travel from SFO to MAA for two days under those circumstances?
