Fwd: Hello from Korea

Subject: Hello from Korea

Hello all across the pond...We finally made it to Korea which is the first leg of our journey. Our troubles began in the ATL parking lot when Scott "misplaced" aka lost our parking ticket that you have to show the attendant guy. After missing the first shuttle, we found it and were on our way to check in only to find ourselves in the longest line of Asian people we have ever seen! It took 1.5 hours just for us to check in. We then find out that we have not been seated together and are 5 rows apart. I am not the best flier so this caused a major breakdown because KA said the flight was booked and there was nothing they could do. Long story short we were finally seated together just in time for the flight to take off 1.5 hours late!

The food on KA is ok but definitely airplane food. The service is impressive though. They have someone who goes into the restroom after each use to spray air freshener, wipe the sink and fold the toilet paper end into a cute triangle. Our seats were nothing special but I did tell Scott I wanted to fly first class just once..hubba hubba you should have seen those seat!

The airport is very cool architecturally and the place is so clean. They make the smokers go into a glassed in room that I swear is hermetically sealed. So from hear we fly to Beijing then on to our separate provinces. We are 13 hours ahead right now but will only be 12 ahead in China. We are tired but ok after we ate and drank lots of water.

We have talked to my mom and the boys. It was great to hear them since we miss them so much already. All thoughts and prayers on this journey are appreciated. Thanks for following along.
