Friday, August 24th, 2012. Five families have plans to travel to Truro,
Cape Cod in Massachusetts. Raj and
Meena are excited about the coming week when they are hosting a number of their
relatives to their new home on the cape.
This has been in the planning for many months. After overcoming a number of hitches we were
geared up to have a good time with our loved ones. The weather forecast
indicated that all our stars were aligned.
Raj and Meena left their home around 2:30pm all ready to
have a relaxing time – listening to music all the way, we had a smooth drive
for the next 120 miles and reached Truro at 4:45 pm. Couple of hours later Ranju and Andrew left
Cambridge to travel to the same destination reaching at 7:00pm. While Ranju and Andrew were navigating the
traffic Priya and Nick decided to take a relaxing ferry ride from Boston to
Provincetown. They had the benefit of
watching a diving competition at the Boston Harbor as well as a spectacular
sunset enroute to Truro. As the ferry
reached Provincetown, Krishnan and Akola’s flight touched down at Logan. They
came from Indiana, which is about 1200 miles away. After renting a car at Logan they arrived at Truro
around 10:30pm. While K and A were renting their car the Prakash family was
leaving Sharon to come to Truro and join the fun. They arrived around 9:00 pm.
While all this travel of about 2000miles was taking place,
the families that arrived before 7:30pm which were Ranju, Andrew, Prakash
family, Priya and Nick and were starving decided to sit down for dinner? We had a simple dinner of lasagna, salad and
bread. Simple but delicious and satisfying while the wine drinkers enjoyed a cup
of wine while chit chatting.
Once again the air got exciting as the last of the guests (K
and A) arrivied. Lots of chattering and
excitement as tall stories were exchanged until finally every one decided to
retire for the night.
Priya and Nick pulled the short straw – having to retire on
couches to catch up on their sleep! They
did not seem to mind this one bit.
