Live from Korea

We miade it! We are in Korea and just days away from meeting our son Carter. Its bare to believe the time is finally here. This journey has been amazing.

First off please forgive the typo's as I am working on just a few hours of sleep. Its now 7:00 pm local or 6:00 am in DC. So here it goes, I wrote this when we first got to our hotel room.

So let's start from the beginning. Our good friend Michelle picked us up this morning at 9:30. When loading the car Maidosn decided she watned to come along for the trip and jumped in the car with the bags.

When we arived at the ticket counter the mangager came over and said 'oh, we have been expecing you'. John and I were a little caught off guard. Well turns out they were giving a choice of seats, either 1 row by ourselves or an exit row. We choose the exit row as it has more leg room. Then we were handed a complimentary pass to the lounge so we could relax beore our flight. So we had something to eat, and glass of orange juice and just enjoyed our last moments before getting on a plane for 13 and a half hours.

The flight was very nice , our exit row was wonderful, there were not seats in front of us at all and we were right next to the galley. We each had our own TV and watched a couple of movies.

Lunch was either Beef with Wine Sauce or Bibimbab. John got the beef with wine sauce and believe it or not i choose the bibimbap. It came with rice so I knew I couldn't go wrong. it was DELISH!!!! I did not have the seaweed soup, but I did try it.

A couple of hours later we were served 'hot rolls', I tried to find our exactly what the were but i was only told they were 'hot rolls'. Those were very good too.

Dinner was served about an hour after that and both John and I choose to get the chicken as the other dish was shrimp and rice. And anyone that know us knows that John is allerigic and I don't care for shrimp.

We did a rest a little bit on the plane towards the end of the flight. I think we are both running on pure adrenaline at this point. I'm not sure how we are still awake as neither one of us got more then a couple hours of sleep on Friday.

We are currently at the Hyatt right next to the airport and tomorrow morning we will switch to a Sheraton for the rest of the week.

The plan of action righ tnow is this, tomorrow morning we will call SWS (agency in Korea) to find out when we our appointment to meet Carter is. We believe it will be on Tuesday sometime. We will meet with him and his foster family for about an hour then the rest of the day and Wednesday is for us. Thursday we will get him and Friday we fly home.

That's it for now...... more when we can along with pictures!

Bye

Paige and John
