Thanks to BA I received one of my bags and they misplaced 3! You got to be impressed with their 1st Class Priority tagging. They know which customers to look after. :rolleyes: If they can't transfer bags in 5hrs then.....:td:

Nice hot shower followed by a cozy bed!

BTW 3ft of snow here!

Where is the 3 feet of snow? London?

Its not even been a year since I left Philly and can't believe how I got used to the warm weather. Yesterday I walked out without jacket at noon.

I do love trains. But, I aint paying 10000$ to ride in one.

Hey Saad - thanks for responding..

We (wife + 1 year old - in May 2011) plan to spend about 3 weeks in Del. We will stay in CR Park in South Delhi. We do not really want to travel around Delhi.. Here is what we are looking for:
1) Good places to get awesome indian food (upscale and dhaba type)
2) Clubs like Dublin in Maurya (When we lived in DEL 1998-2002, we would go to this place ALL the time - every sat night). I am sure things have progressed since and there are other nice/er places to go on a sat night
3) A nice place to get about 50-70 people together - for drinks n dinner..
Thanks

Another question - I am planning on using US air miles to fly Business/First from St Louis to Delhi. Any suggestions on good airlines in the star alliance network to fly business/first?

One option is CO STL-EWR-DEL. BusinessFirst on CO is a nice product. It gets in to DEL at 920PM, which is very convenient.

I remember answering this exact question in a different thread....did you ask this question elsewhere?
