Sleep Deprived & Love Motel

We have made it!!! Today is our first day in Seoul, South Korea. Maybe we shouldn't have stayed up until 5am on Friday night and 2:30am on Saturday, because holly crap did we have a lot to do before we could leave. Between packing our bags, packing the house, cleaning, doing some last minute paperwork, we were still going strong at the eleventh hour. With no sleep we left for the Calgary airport at 3:30 on Monday morning. We flew to Vancouver, San Fransisco and then the 11 hr flight to Incheon. If you ever fly to Asia, you have to fly on Singapore Airlines. It was a great flight - they really know how to take care of you. Great food, free wine, our own personal TV's with on demand movies, tv shows, games, definately made the time go by quickly.

Mike's brother, Paul (who has lived here for 3 years, and the reason that we went to Asia in the first place), picked us up at the airport in Incheon. We took a overheated bus to Seoul and a taxi to a hotel area in Seoul. Hotel rooms were $100 Cdn per night, so Paul found us a "Motel Love Letter"at $40 for the nite. We're pretty sure that we could have rented the room by the hour if we wanted! Actually the room was pretty good. We slept from 8:30pm until 9 the next morning, so I think we won't have jetlag. We're waiting for our first Korean meal to arrive and then we are headed to meet Paul's girlfriend.

Talk soon
