I am finally here! Holy Hannah what a trip. I am at the 48 hour mark and almost ready to drop but wanted to let you know I am here safe and sound, well mostly sound! The flights were all good, Beijing airport was freezing, and I had my seat to myself mostly... The lady sitting next to me from Beijing to Delhi had 4 carry-on bags which she felt I needed to have in my seat. When I asked her (really nicely) if she could please move them she told me "no". Now what's a girl to do when you are promptly told no to your request and you know you have six hours left together?? I gently put them on the floor and woke up a few hours later with two of them on my lap!!! Dear lord...
More from Mamallapuram tomorrow.

Hi Tracy, good to see you arrived safley. Have fun and keep us posted. Please explain to me what "weight profiling" is. Cheers and have fun
your bro
Hey Tracy wow that lady was rude who sat next to you on the plane! Lots of love Emma
Andrew,
Weight profiling is when a person my size is input into the airline computer as not using their entire seat so they can sit a person requiring a seatbelt extender next to me... This has happened on 4 flights over 8hrs in length - not pleasant! Tracy
Tracy so glad you arrived safely, and thanks to Andrew for that question on weight profiling, I don't have to worry about that one LOL... I'm looking forward to your updates and following you on your journey. Be safe and have fun.
love
Dianne
