Well I've been travelling for two days and I am now here at my grandmother's house in California.
I had to travel by bus first to get to Pittsburgh for my flight. My travelling around this time turned out to be a bit stressful.
The beginning of my journey was going by smoothly. Deva Datta my godbrother took me to the bus station the other morning. So my bus arrived to Erie PA with no problem. But then I learned I could not take the bus out to Pittsburgh from there and that is where all the trouble started. I had to sit there for five long hours to take the bus to Cleveland. That was one blessing though going back to my hometown Cleveland for a few hours. But I was growing tired as I was waiting. I tried chanting some extra rounds and read from my krishna book to help me stay awake and remember Krishna. I knew Krishna would help me get through this. So when the bus to Cleveland arrived to pick me up I discovered the bus had wireless internet on it. So I plugged in my computer and logged into mayapur.tv to watch mayapur's webcam. And much to my surprise, I learned that Maharaj was giving the Srimad Bhagavatam class. Oh how my heart just ACHED to hear Maharaj give class again! I almost started to cry. Krishna knew I wanted to hear Maharaj give class on the webcam so much and He fullfilled my desire yet again! Krishna has been so merciful to me. My trip would have been unbearable had I not gotten to see Maharaj give that class.It brought me peace of mind. So that was the double blessing from Krishna going to Cleveland for a bit and then seeing Maharaj on the webcam.
But later on, I went through some severe austerities. I did not sleep at all for a day and a half. The bus made me miss my flight and as a result I had so much trouble at the airport with finding a new flight, getting my bag checked in, and then at the security check point, and getting on the plane, they could not understand my ticket. So I had to sit there all day at the airport till 2:45pm. After that things went smoothly except at the end where my bag wasn't at the airport. So they told me today that my bag will be here around 1pm.
But over all Krishna still got me through this mess. I hope and pray things will go well for when I go back to New Vrndavan, and Toronto as well.
