My plane leaves Detroit Monday afternoon, November 4, and I get to Bangalore at 12:30 a.m. November 6. I’ll have a backpack, a camera and, as a companion, this supercilious beach girl I found a couple of years ago leaning against a truck in a Vermont flea market.
I have a theoretical reservation 30 kms down the road at the Hotel T.A.P. Silver Square on the third floor of a rectangular building adjacent to a McDonalds. My room ($18) has an attached bathroom with a hydromassage shower head.
Questions to resolve: Does the McDonalds have those breakfast potato disks? Apple pie? A drive-through window? Does the airport’s shuttle bus to town exist? Will I be able to rouse the doorman at 3 a.m.?
Sounds great, looks great, and maybe McD has curry there…have a great trip.
Hey, Charlie, thanks. I’m new at this, so let me know if you see something unpalatable. I’ll update regularly. J
You are finding shuttle bus that side, sir. Five minutes waiting only.
I am seeing no bus, but why?
I’ll be checking regularly. Excited to hear more.
Thanks, Elliot. I’ll try to stay sober.
McD’s yes on the Apple pie and potato disks…with a bit of added spice, drive through no. Door man at 3am, just bang as hard as possible for as long as possible
I’m most excited by the hydromassage shower head.
Have a safe trip, guard your backpack, looking forward to hearing of your adventures. You’ll never go hungry with McD there!
