Visit to US

After my return from Chennai, joined a new project in Bangalore. Immediately, had to visit US on a business visit to a storage company. My travel plan : San Francisco -> Pleasanton (CA) -> Rockville (MD) -> Nashua (NH) -> Cambridge (MA) -> New Jersey -> Bangalore



Left Bangalore mid of June and took the flight to San Francisco. Had a opportunity to meet my good old colleague and friend Vivek. He had come to Airport to pick up and dashed to his house in Fremont. It was a lovely house. Manju had prepared good dinner, ate that and crashed.







Next day, we went around one of the parks where the previous colleagues had get-together. Evening, checked into a hotel in Pleasanton close to office. Mohan joined in as well.









Had been San Francisco. Even though had seen it many times before, just went around the city. Golden Gate Bridge is always inviting and drive over it is so fun. on a nice sunny day, it was at it's best. Visited, ChinaTown and drove around the city.




Took the flight to Washington D.C for Rockville next day morning. Luckily, Prasad Inchal was staying in German Town near Rockville. It was a pleasure to meet them in their house with lil' Aryan around. Renuka prepared good north karnataka food for dinner. Also, came to know Siddeswar was also in German town and it was pleasure to meet them as well.


After couple of days stay in Rockville, headed to Nashua in New Hampshire. Took a flight to Boston where Amanath also was in same flight. We both drove down from NJ to Nashua. stayed there couple of days. Good thing about NH is that there is no sales tax. All items we buy will be on the same price as listed without any additional taxes. Did some shopping in Nashua Pheasant mall & shops around.




Mohan had got his car and from there drove down to his house near Hopkinton, MA. In the weekend took a train and went to Boston for sight seeing. Senthil was staying in Boston and we both went around the city.




Next day, we drove down to Cambridge and after meeting during the weekend (July 4'th) took a flight back to Bangalore.
