Yesterday Bob and I had a unique travel experience. We had a 30-minute connection from one flight to another--clearly impossible! Nevertheless, we were met at the door of our aircraft by an airline rep who asked our names and simply said,"Follow me." We were escorted to an emergency exit to the outside! We then were told "Wait here." Our bags were off loaded from our aircraft and I can still see them standing on the tarmack silhouetted against the sun.
Within moments, our guide said, "Please come," and we entered a Jet Airways bus onto which our bags were loaded. We were driven to our aircraft and were directed up a side entrance to the jet way. At the entrance to the aircraft, we were asked to wait. Apparently the jet had been late and we were the first in line to board!
We made our connection and had one more flight to our destination--Rajkot, Gujarat, India. Bob and I were stunned by the efficiency of the process! We made it here just fine as did our bags. Amazing!
This morning we visited a slum area that now has clean water..and then visited the Rotary-financed dam that has made the process possible. I think Bob had his closest encounter with a cow today as well--just outside an elderly woman's home.
More later.

Sounds somewhat similar to Dani's and my experience from Tokyo to Osaka. Fun! Thanks for the continued updates.
