My trip to Lancaster

I was traveling on 1st of this year, so now wondering would I be traveling the entire year! Friday afternoon I came to know that I will be traveling to US for short trip :) , and hence after a travel of about 32 hours I finally reached Lancaster, PA. Again nervous a little, unaware of challenges I started for it. Hoping it turns out well.
Without meeting family at Hyd, and knowing that I will be missing the imp events Parents marriage anniversary, marriage of best buddies, etc. I boarded at Nagpur. Tons of Thanks to new roommate to help me with last minute shopping. In coming days I will be finding if I missed anything else :)
Started without my Cam, from Nagpur and soon went to deep sleep; to woke up only on the jerks of landing at Mumbai. Its always a comfortable travel if ur luggage is with in limits, and I was just before the mark. With about 5 hours of waiting time I made few calls to friends and boarded the flight to Newark. There was a light moment when Air hostess commented on small quarrel "Please sit down Its just the beginning we have a long flight" Flight was cool so far my monitor was working, could manage to see one movie then thanks to AI, I had to depend on screen of others. Food was ok, managed to sleep well too.
Then landed early morning here to find not much difference in 3 years at airport. Only it's all snow covered on contrast to previous summer visit. Whereas I noticed at Nagpur airport we don't use shuttles now for boarding, some development there.
From airport, took the luggage and started for a train with only me in the mono rail. Standing in the platform for just 5 mins in -8 deg cel. I witnessed my coldest day in life and also first time when I saw snow outside refrigerator :)
Traveling alone is not new in last few years but here I really felt I am alone as hardly you see people on the platforms or in trains. All wore deserted look. Not sure if its Sunday morning or I am in just after biggest snow storm. I guess it's common for people coming from populous country like India. But I am already missing the noice.
Ok my station is here.. Will be back with some pics..
