Landing @ Chicago Airport

After a long 24 hours journey from Mumbai to Chicago, finally landed at chicago airport. Ah, That's a fantastic experience I felt to put my feet on USA region. Second pal, I said to myself, the dreams now comes true after long awaiting opportunity. I came across the security check... Little worried about my VISA which about to expire after 15 days (19th Feb 10). Good luck, I passed through all security checks and entered into departure lobby.

I took deep breath and said to myself, Deepesh now your started again to acheive new acme of career success. I stand in front of Mc'Donald and freezed myself for couple of minutes. Nothing went into my mind, I try to calm down myself. Ofcourse, I have to wait at Chicago Airport for couple of hours more because My friend is also reaching at Chicago Airport by another flight from london.

So, I started waiting. I move around the Airport lobby 2-3 times to understand the atmosphere. It was very much cold outside the airport. Inside the airport was fine enough to wait. I had purchased a packet of Cigarete at Abu Dhabi Airport, But I didn't have match box to lit the Cigarete. I decided to go to inside shop to purchase a lighter. I asked shopkeeper about cigarete lighter, she gave and ask me about 10 cent, I gave 20 dollars. She said, take the match box, its free. I took match box and went out of airport. It was freeze cold, temperature is about -8 degree. I lit my cigarete and smoke outside the airport. I have taken one more after that. Finally, I feel it is better to go back inside the airport. I went and never come out till my friend reached to me.

Finally, After a long 5 hours waiting, My friend (Kushagra) arrived, we took car and moved on to Moline. We too were very tired, so we too slept inside the car. Car took 3 hours to Moline. We reached at Moline at Midnight and entered into guest house.

It was really fantastic experience I never forget till whole... The first foriegn visit.
