India Trip - Day 1

Everything started off well today (for the most part). I made it to the Austin airport with plenty of time to spare only to wait at the gate for the bad weather in Chicago to clear before our flight can be on its way. Apparently, they have thunderstorms rolling through there. The gate agent seems to think I will make it to Chicago on time to catch my connecting flight to Delhi. I'm not sure I share his optimism. It'll be awfully close. I hope they wait for me to get there. But, if I do miss the direct flight to Delhi, he said that American Airlines will route me through London. The thing is I don't have a visa for the UK. This trip will be interesting, if nothing else.
