Although I was only able to get 3 hours of sleep, I was full of adrenaline and ready to go. I caught my train on time and everything was running smoothly. I even got to the airport a bit early, and so I had time to stop in a restroom and also to pray and give thanks. I was really excited and feeling good.
I waited in line and when I reached the ticket counter, I received the shock of my life.
"Don't you have a visa for India?" the lady asked.
"I didn't know I needed one ahead of time." I replied.
"Please wait a moment. Let me check with my supervisor."
Lord, what is happening? Please let everything work out okay, I prayed silently.
"I'm very sorry miss, but we can't let you board the flight if you don't have a visa to India."
"Oh no! What can I do?"
"Well, we can let you fly to Bangkok only, but we can't put you through to Calcutta. What would you like to do?"
Lord? Now what? Go to Bangkok.
"Okay, I'll go to Bangkok. Maybe I can get a visa for India there."
Having checked my bag through to Bagkok, I took my boarding pass and thanked the ticket agent, apologizing again for causing her so much trouble.
