April 5, 2014 - Visit relatives at New City , New York

        After two days of drive and stopovers, we were at our final destination, the resort at Bushkill and I slept well but not too long either. First thing to do was to check out the new allotted villa and see if the new one is better than the current one. So I went to the office and got the keys and checked out the villa and then took Divya along and showed her the villa as well. In terms of location, it was way better than the previous one and so we shifted, taking all t
hose big suitcases back from the older unit to the minivan and into the new unit.
       Meanwhile, my parents had made bread/cheese/omelet based breakfast which all of us had. It was very evident that I needed some more rest before I could take on the trip in full swing. The plan had been to see the bushkill falls on the day of arrival. But then the plan also had been to visit Sheebachechi at new york during the weekend as they need to go for work during the week. This villa-shift had not been planned for and we thought that we would not get enough time at the bushkill falls as it was already post lunch. Yes , we had brought rice from home and had our lunch with curd , achchar etc.
         The jacuzzi was here as well and this time I read the instructions on how the jacuzzi has to be left running to take off the stench from clogged sediments in the pipes. So I did that and then had the water filling up for my dream relaxing massage that I was looking forward to. Well, when I came back around the time the water filled up, our daughter Niya was already in the water and she did not get scared when I suddenly turned on the air jets. I did get my turn after helping her and yes, it did count and I felt refreshed.
      Then we got everyone dressed up and set the GPS to point to New City. Kitta had to take a milk break where we were already pressed for time and we reached Sheebachechi's home around 8 PM after an almost 2 hours of drive. Ammu(Sheebachechi's daughter)  and Niya quickly got together and Ammu started showing Niya how to play the piano.The rest of us sat around in the cozy sofa and chatted.Then we had dinner with a surprising number of items as the trip had been planned just a few hours back through phone call discussions. After the dinner , it was movie time - 'Kunjanadante Kada' , a movie I had wanted to check out. It was still not clear whether we were going back or whether we were staying. I was still tired from the drive. So we did some post-dinner chatting watching the movie and finally decided to go back to the resort and the day ended post midnight as has been the trend.
