The Epic Journey of The Box. . .continued

Day 4: The Box has arrived. . .


I am stunned.



FedEx Tracking Entries for The Box as of December 4th, 10:00am IST:

I am going to assume all the above times are local times. December 3, 10:20am on the U.S. west coast translates to December 3, 11:50pm here in India. Total elapsed time from pickup here to delivery there: 2 days, 5 hours, 8 minutes. A tip of the hat to FedEx.

I hope my journey home is as quick and as seemingly painless.
