We are still here and likely to remain another week.
After multiple phone calls & emails, I know that ticketing got complicated, landing us in the middle of the Holi festival, delaying meetings in Delhi, delaying arrival in Santiniketan... Conclusion: wait at least a week.
Unfortunately, this only exacerbates the difficulties we already had departing just a few days behind schedule. Celia will have to return home early in order to begin school in August. I am discouraged about my fall course. Though department chair, Professor Houde, is entirely understanding, I feel awful inconveniencing her, the students, everyone. It's just not how I was taught to do things.
On the bright side, it seems there is a meeting in Udaipur that I can attend after the Delhi business. Though I don't know much about Udaipur, photos make it look like quite the wonderful area. I will use some of my limbo time to read up on it.
A little discouraged this evening, but still geared up to go.
[And, though Holi in Santiniketan sounded like fun, it's probably just fine to miss it on our first day in Delhi.]
Sitting here in Limbo, but I know it won't be long.
... Sitting here in Limbo, so many things I've got to learn.
Meanwhile, they're putting up a resistance,
But I know that my faith will lead me on.
