Well it has been over a year that I posted anything on this blog....sheer laziness, but exciting things did happen. We made a trip to Sri Lanka in November 2009 . It was a great trip and fun to be on the beach and enjoy the sea and sunshine. Lots of other small side trips we made within India and the most exciting one was to Hyderabad just before the Stateside trip. This was not planned as such but a fun trip done at random. Shopping was just great - purchased all gifts sets of pearls for Sabrina and friends and more so I got the best deal of all. I got myself huge round grey and pink pearl necklaces with gold rims and a five strand emerald necklace. I have been looking for one of these necklaces for a long long time and found it in Hyderabad city where stones and pearls are very famous. Okay that is about enough for the time lost to update the blog and so I will start with our US trip.
Of course this trip was important as we were going to attend the wedding of our daughter Sabrina to Jamie on 18th September, 2010. We left Bangalore on a direct flight to Houston on Qatar Airways. This was our time using Qatar and let me tell you it was just wonderful. The flt time close to 19 hours was comfortable and pleasant. The crew very hospital and the food and snacks good and palatable. We made Houston our point of arrival and departure because of convenience otherwise we would have to lug our belongings to all the plans we had visiting places. Eugene's younger brother William and his wife Gloria live and work in Houston and they own a house. After spending a week in Houston, we went with William to Kansas City for the wedding.
AH the wedding was just great, I was feeling so bad that I did not help in anyway with the planning or execution. It was all the efforts of Sabrina and Jamie and her friends that planned the wedding. Unbelievable, the mass celebrated by Fr. Matt, Pastor of St. Francis Xavier in Kansas City and Sabrina has known him for close to seven years, attended by family and friends. We were so delighted to see the church full and the beautiful bridal couple on the altar of God dedicating themselves to each other, to share their lives in happiness and sorrow together. We were happy to see our baby marry Jamie a young man with good family background and good nature. We met Jamie's parents, brother and sister and their families and it was a joy to know them. Their love and affection shown to us and to our daughter made us feel so comfortable and happy that Sabrina has joined a well loved family.
The reception at Screenland has not faded from our memories. Every time I look at the table decorations, the pictures of the seating arrangements of family and friends makes me feel proud of Sabrina and Jamie. I would never have thought of such kind of things even though I am pretty much organized person. Eugene was just thrilled to see all the things Sabrina and Jamie had done in preparation for the big day, the hours and time spent in putting it all together and finally executing the plans. There is so much I can say but all this you will read in Sabrina's blog along with the pictures.
We returned from the wedding to Houston and then traveled to different cities in the Houston area. Our Mexico trip had to be canceled at the last minute because of bad airline connections. We did not want to land in Mexico City around 3 am and have not much time to see the city. Eugene was not pleased with my canceling the trip and since the time was short we could not travel to Las Vegas because the prices shot up and not affordable. Maybe next time I will plan better.
