West Palm Beach - New York City (JFK): 3 hour flight, 6 hour layover.
New York City - Brussels (BRU): 7 hour flight, 3 hour layover.
Brussels - Delhi (DEL): 7 hour flight, 14 hour layover.
Delhi - Jammu - Srinagar (SXR): 2 hour flight.
Arrive in Srinagar to discover Jet Airlines has lost my snowboard bag - 3 boards, 2 prs. boots, 2 pairs binding, snowshoes, poles, avy kit, socks - all gone for now. Keeping fingers crossed.
Heavy snow closed only road into Srinagar days ago stranding 1100 trucks on pass, which opened today for one-way traffic north. 4 feet of snowfall reported at summit of Mt. Affarwat, 1 foot at bottom station of gondola.
Heavy fog closes Delhi airport today halting all flights, so even if bag is located it will be a while before delivery. Turns out my flight to SXR was last one out.
Dinner last night a smallish cockroach crawled out from under my veg cutlet halfway through. End of meal.
Woke up today with a bronchial tic to a cacophony of traffic below caused as 1100 trucks merge with daytime commuters. Insane! But it is sunny, so I'm off for a walk. By the way I have not seen one other foreign tourist.
