Greetings from Seoul

Or should I say Good Morning!? We have arrived safely and are all settled into our hotel. I thought I was prepared for complete exhaustion from my last international trip! HA! 16+ hours of constant travel are tiring, let me tell you!

I highly recommend Korean Air for anyone traveling here. Our flight was very enjoyable, if not incredibly long. Entertainment in the back of the seat rest in front of you, including video games. I now am quite good at MineSweeper! Despite some rocky spots of turbulence, we had no trouble at all. I can only hope for such a smooth ride on the way back home. Although, I must admit I kept thinking- if I'm sick of being on this tin can in the sky - what is my 2+ yr old son gonna be feeling!

Today we shop and site see! A family friend (American) who lives here in Seoul has volunteered to play tour guide for the weekend. A very sweet and gracious sacrifice of his time, and we're very excited to be shown all the sites by such a giving person.

Craig and I have lost track of the number of times we've said "I can't believe we're here!" A year and some of waiting for this very moment, and here we are - in the birth place of our son. A very strange feeling of calm is with me, and that I can thank the Lord for. So here we go to enjoy our Seoul adventure!

Happy Friday to everyone back home!
