Sleepless in Seoul

Well I made it! That plane ride that I have to do 4 times has to be harder than any labor, and they don't give you an epidural for it. First leg accomplished. The plane ride was long, but I had a good seat and I MADE IT! When I arrived here it was 3:30 in the afternoon. We landed at the same gate as before and I was so proud I knew just where to go. I got to my room at the airport (everything in Korea is tiny) I looked at the four walls and decided I was not ready to crash yet. I walked the airport (at least 50 duty free shops) and grabbed a wrap from Subway and went back to my room. I still could not give in to hanging out with my 4 walls, and I saw a sign while walking the terminal about massages. I went and had a 2 hour massage. That was my best idea yet. I thought about Sarah and our New York City massage experience and had to muffle a laugh a few times, but it was great. Then I gave up and went to my room and watched movies and finally fell asleep, but maybe a little too early because I woke up at 10:00 p.m. Seoul time ready to go, and nowhere to go. I am really getting caught up on my movies. Not it is 2:42 and I figured out how to get wireless (it is somewhere in the airport) and I have no idea how much I just paid for 30 minutes, but I think it was about what I paid for a bottle of water so surely it will be ok.

I am excited about getting to Vladivostok and hurrying up and waiting until Monday morning. When we flew into Seoul for some reason we came from the north and actually flew over Vlad. That was frustrating when I saw that and at that point I was pretty fed up with the plane ride but they did not let me off so I will be doing that trek today.

Please keep the prayers coming!
