Mumbai

Merry Christmas, Everyone.

I am still running a little behind schedule. Nothing to worry about though. We are currently in Indian airspace. We'll be setting down at our replenishment station in just a few moments. From there we'll cover the much of India & central Asia before stopping in the Middle East for yet another replenishment before heading down into Africa.

We have been experiencing some communication issues just as we did last year. I believe that it has something to do with the communications infrastructure in this part of the world. We are now using our back-up communications systems. My blog posts take second priority to communications with the North Pole Operations. As such, some of my posts may experience a bit of delay.

I do plan on spending some extra time in Mumbai. The citizens here have been through a lot recently. I am very proud of the way they have pulled together and are helping each other. I hope that I can do something... even if its small... to let them know they are in my prayers.

For those of you in Europe.... I'll be there very soon. Get to bed!
