All right guys, this ain’t a travelogue of a long journey on a car, but one that involves change of my work place from Durgam Cheruvu, Hyderabad to downtown, Washington D.C. I’ll be posting many pics in bits and pieces, so please bear with me.<\/p>\n

Prospects of a foreign trip started in the 1st week of December, 2009, when I was already in the midst of an implementation project. It was that very project that was to go-live just before Xmas, owing to which I had to drop out of the AP2AP trip. So instead of one helluva trip to the Himalayas, there came another to the banks of the Potomac river: I was deputed to a client for 3 months starting Jan 2nd!<\/p>\n

Since I’d never been to very cold places (being used to warm places like Hyderabad, Vizag and Cuttack all through my life), I was a wee bit apprehensive. But thanks to team-bhp, I got many inputs on winter wear and footwear.<\/p>\n

So the journey began on Jan 2nd in a British Airways flight from Hyd to London, and another from Heathrow to Dulles International Airport after a gap of 5 hours. The flight was very comfortable and the food was very good.<\/p>\n

When I got off at Heathrow, I noticed the sea change that had taken place there since I last visited in 2003. The terminals were really spruced up and as good as Shamsabad, if not better and bigger.<\/p>\n

Here is what I saw on Terminal 5:
\nThe Audi and Lamborghini held me enthalled for more than an hour—absolute time pass in the airport for that interval.<\/p>\n
