Pati and BeeBee's flight arrived at Indira Gandhi International Airport at about 2:30 pm on Monday. About one hour later, they had cleared customs, immigration, and baggage claim.
The new form to fill out is the health form, which apparently could be used to find out just who might have sat near an ebola-infected passenger, in case some passenger is later discovered to have it. Since there hasn't been any report of ebola in India yet, this new form is either prudent or just more paperwork to force on already-exhausted passengers.
Their tour director was waiting just outside arrivals, and soon all of them plus driver were crawling in rush hour traffic to their bed and breakfast. The driver thought he knew where the B&B was located, but he didn't. Pati and BeeBee were fighting sleep in the back seat (they had been up for 24 hours at that point) when they finally arrived.
The B&B is pleasant, and their tour director is pleasant and incredibly organized. Tomorrow is a rest day, and Pati and BeeBee will investigate the restaurants and shops near their B&B. Except for the usual traffic, it is a very safe area.
They are just now sitting in the rooftop cafe of the B&B, listening to traffic, watching lights come on (in preparation for Diwali, which begins Thursday), and waiting for their dinner to arrive as they sip masala chai.
Then to bed for a much-needed rest!

Big Bro followed the 'DDD' flights (Dulles to Dubai to Delhi). FlightAware (tm) had the first leg as 12hrs 9min and the second leg at 2hrs 46min. He waited until the secong leg departed Dubai around 1AM Dallas (yet another 'D') time.
