Gigi's Hideaway: Home Stretch

We're on the home stretch! YAY! We landed safely in Dehli tonight and we're at the hotel Singh Sans having a late late late dinner at 12:30am. We haven't eaten since lunch was served after the conference today at noon, so we're a tad famished. We have to leave the hotel at 6:00am to get BACK IN A VAN to travel 5 more hours to Agra to see the Taj Mahal. I suppose we'll hop out of the van, take a picture an d hop back in to drive back to make our flight home tomorrow night. The good news is we get to see the Taj Mahal and we have a flight HOME tomorrow night!!! Can you tell I'm excited to come home?

We are officially tourists now, as we left Prati at the Mumbai airport after the leadership training session of the conference. Of the almost 300 women who came to the conference (staying together in the hotel just like we do!), about 40 of the WWM leaders stayed for today's session.

Prati opened today's session with a long charge to her sisters about servant leadership, and again her vulnerability was really touching.

The rest of the session was more speaking and having them write and pray over what gifts/ strengths they have as leaders and what personal weaknesses might hinder their leadership.

The women had time to share and ask questions, and were so appreciative of our time with them.

The rest of the day was travel, travel, and more travel; speeding back down that mountain we chugged up only two days before and hustling airport security lines and fighting (and paying!), to take the extra luggagewe brought back home! Go figure. The Mumbai airport was on high security alert and the morning news papers said they were cracking down on anything more than one carry-on and one checked piece of baggage. Of course we all have more baggage than that! Who doesn't? Ha.

We are spent but still trucking. Really looking forward to a 5 hour van ride tomorrow at 6am! Woo-hoo!
