And the journey begins...

Since this was our first international experience, we didn't want to take chances with timing and we also wanted to avoid late night travel. So, even though our flight was at 9:00 in the morning, we left home at 12:45 a.m. and reached the airport by 1:20 a.m.

Another important task before we could check-in was to complete Rapid PCR tests at the airport. While waiting for the results, we spent our time planning for the upcoming days, as nothing was pre-planned apart from the flights and stays. It turned out quite productive, and I ended up booking a day-trip in Mauritius for one of the days on Viator.

Once the results were in, we completed the rest of the process - check-in, emigration and security. With quite some time left before boarding, we explored the international terminal at the Kolkata airport, visited a few shops, had some food, and of course, clicking few pictures to mark the beginning of something special.
