Bentley's Hotel. First email for hotel reservation sent over the internet because why? My mobile will not allow me to make international calls. My Soby Compound landline will not allow me to make international calls. The Sprint operator will not answer. So boohoo for me. Faahck It! as Shri says. Email my freakin' wish list request to the only one of 4 Colaba hotels in Mumbai that has email. The next "mass comm" email is to the Welcome Hotel in the Fort Area of Mumbai, one of three hotels that has email and that sounds like it won't scare an American with limited international communication - to say the least.
This sleeping situation, this getting off the aero-plane in Mumbai, taking the train to Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminous (CST where 2.5 million passengers transit daily) or taxi (Yellow ticket pre-paid or get waaay fuckin lost) to downtown Mumbai may perhaps be contributing to my 3-day tension/bordering-on-migraine headache. Do you think? And I'm not even there yet. Oh, the anxiety medication hasn't even been invented yet...
