2. As usual in long journeys, I don't eat or sleep much. One meal, at the most and loads of water and perhaps about 4 glasses of wine. Most of the flight time I use, to read - no movies either. This is the space I feel I am least interrupted to devour my books.
3. Immigration was very easy but I was sent to a B section : Customs session for some questions. I was made to wait for a few minutes and then was called forward to answer some questions.
4. "I believe sir you are here as the guest of our government?", the officer asked.
"Yes", I replied. "You have any documents for this?" he continued.
"Oh yes, here there are.." I said with a smile showing him all the invitation letters I have been issued by the State Government and the US Embassy.
5. He took them, read them and then looked up at me and smiled...perhaps wondering what most people must be wondering - "how in the world did this bloke get invited to this stuff". ;-)
7. Was greeted by the signs that read "Entrepreneurship Summit" as I emerged into the main hall of the airport.
8. The driver from Titan Limousine was waiting with my name - got into the Lincoln and off I went to the hotel - the Grand Hyatt.
9. Lovely hotel, checked in with no fuss - electronic all the way.
10. Once in the room, freshened up to go explore the Washington D.C
