We had a 3 pm flight scheduled from San Francisco airport (SFO) so I arrived at the airport at 12:15 pm. My wife Jyoti dropped me off nicely right at the door way of Qatar Airways. I had to wait a little bit for my other two buddies, Kul and Puru sir, so we can check-in our flights together. Everyone was there within about 15 minutes. It was really fun to have three of us arrive at the airpot, for the beginning of this remarkable adventure.
We had some unexpected hassle during the check in process because one of my two check-in, as well as one of Kul's check-in were over-weight. After the re-adjustment of some of the stuff to the other bags, everything was fine. In the picture, Puru sir is actively helping me to do what we called open heart surgery of our luggages. Many thanks to him.
Because of the long line and our baggage issues it took long to finish the check in. It was good thing that we had plenty of time. Then, we headed to the security check point and the rest of the process was super-smooth. We even had some spare time before the flight so sit down for lunch. It was the home lunch sent by Jyoti, which included haluwa and paratha. Some of you know haluwa is my favorite food.
Also, at that point we quickly had some adventure, first I forgot to pick up my phone from the tray at the TSA security check point, for which I had to go back from the lunch point. The TSA agent was super-nice, he said he did not like the color of my phone, as it is orange and its case is super bright. I told him it was not my choice (Jyoti bought two identical phones of her choice color, no complain) so he laughed, and gave the phone to me. My buddy Kul followed me back to the security point from the lunch point was I was not stranded without any phone. Many thanks to him.
