Taxi fare from Fridley to Megabus station in Downtown Minneapolis - Distance: approx. 5.5 miles, Fare: $25 (incl. tip)

Taxi fare from Union Station in Downtown Chicago to Buffalo Grove - Distance: approx. 40 miles, Fare: $68 (incl. tip)

Coming home in absolutely "blizzard"ly conditions and negative temperatures in one piece with all luggages intact and 12 hours later - Priceless
India trip in 3 days' time. It is already beginning to feel like the trip time (25 days) is way less. Specially in comparison with other colleagues who have taken "extensive" holiday times. Add to that 2 visa interviews crunched in and a big family event planned, there is no downtime.... or is it?
Talk about "this-does-not-make-much-sense-at-all". The time it has taken for me to get ready for the visa stamping (incl. checking the VFS site daily waiting for the date to open up, filling out the forms at the website, contacting folks in Wipro on a regular basis for the right co-ordination of paperwork, getting all the documentation ready from my end), all I will get the visa for is less than 6 months. Almost feels like it's not worth it. But alas....
