Hi folks,

I have arrived to your great country at last on

thursday the 21st!!

The flight from Mumbai to Shanghai was not very

comfortable due to O2 problems . The o2 from tanks in

the 'on demand mode' was not compatible as i had to

inhale rather deeply for the supply , i did not notice

initially but i saw that my saturations were dipping

to 70s and after a visit to the toilet it plummeted to

50s.

we told the crew that we would like to switch to the

Eclipse portable that we were allowed to carry as

cabin baggage , but they said that we had certified

that the their o2 was compatible to us so we should

try to use it as far as possible and if it still felt

bad they would give us the tanks they kept for

emergencies.

{n the 2nd leg of the trip however from Shangai to San

Francisco the captain himself obliged us and helped

me to change my seat to one near the mains and i could

hook on to it and use my portable i was very

comfortable as my saturations rose to 97 and i made

thru , thanks to the captain who was so sensible and

kind.

I will write more in my next post.

Hope all are doing well.

So nice to see you here and well, in spite of some problems on the first

flight. If only we could give people doses of common sense. They don't

follow rules when they need to and then when they need to use some

thought (as the Captain did on the next flight), they just can't do it.

The sad thing is it could have had tragic consequences. The good thing

is it didn't.

Now as much as we want to know how your trip is doing, mostly you just

make the most of your trip and enjoy your time here.

Geeta ... you may not even see this post, there are so many now.

Glad you are safe in the US.

The first part of the trip sounds worrisome about the O2...I'm hoping it will be arranged differently on your way home.

Enjoy!
