Sad news today: Arun's father died. He had been very ill for some time now so it wasn't a surprise but it happened really fast. As a result of the funeral being this coming weekend, Blas and Loren decided to postpone the party until the following weekend so that Rosemary could go to the funeral. I was able to change my flights for the following week. I had to cancel the flights and pay for the new ones but I found a $200 credit and I will be able to use the balance for future travel. The good thing is that I will no longer have to leave at 3AM to get there in time for an early morning flight. 

I should text my condolences to Arun and Radika.
