Man, That's One Big Pond

Whew! What a day. I'd make some crack about flying so long that my arms are tired -- but I'll leave those comments to my dad!

I have arrived in Seoul, Korea. Best I can tell - as I just left my watch back in the hotel room, it's like 3am at home. Something like that. And did I mention I got up at 5:30am? It's technically 4:47 pm here in Seoul, but I am ready for bed. I'll try to hold out for a bit, but I am not sure what the hotel room TV holds in my future...

I did manage to grab a few moments of sleep on the plane. WOW was business class worth it. Ok still WAY expensive -- but the seats are light years ahead of what they cram you into in steerage - I mean coach. I even supported Nestle on the plane -- they served Haagen daz... woo hoo!

So tonight I have big plans with a pillow in my very tiny but nice room at the Hotel Air Garden. (I know you warned me about it Jesse and Jason, but since I was alone this time, I wasn't feeling all that adventurous!) And tomorrow @ 10am it's off to Vladivostok. I have asked to go right to Little T's baby home as it's super close to the airport - but we'll see!

Paka from Seoul!

Whoa! I was in San Diego the last couple of days and missed your send off. Oh well...I'm glad you made it safely (and comfortably) to Seoul. What airline did you fly? And are you taking Vladivostok Air to Vlad?
Wow...I can't wait to see those photos of T and hear all about the reunion. I'm very happy for you!
