Hello from Korea!

We just got back from shopping, getting all the food goodies for the holiday treats around here. The grocerie store was crazy busy and we went in the middle of a work day. Anyways, our travels were almost pleasant. We planned the airport just right. Having enough time to check that the internet was not free and to buy some great Washington wine. Our seats on the plane were great. The second row past Business class. So we got our drinks first and our food first. It was pleasant until we arrived in Japan. Our one layover. We had known about this stop all along, but knew we were not changing planes. So we thought that it was safe to buy our wine. Unfortunately the Japanese airport has this funny rule where when transferring you must go thought additional security check points which even thought we brought the wine on the plane we could not take the wine back on the same plane. AURGH! Frustration increased.

After we arrived in Korea our plane had to wait for about 40 minutes until it was finally allowed to dock at the gate. The craziness continued at the baggage claim when I was almost docked down twice from other people getting bags too heavy for them to lift off the carousel.

Well we got here and that is what really matters. The best part and redeeming part of traveling NWA was the Airbus had AC outlets on our seats so I was able to play on my computer for most of the flight.

I think we are going out again later for more shopping how fun!

We are heading out in the morning for Korea and Japan! It has been 3 years since we were there last. It is the first time I will be there for the Lunar New Years Celebration. Which I have heard is pretty much the biggest thing ever.

But the highlight I am looking forward to is spending some time in Japan. The goal is to hit some slopes and shred some snow on the Japanese slopes. (fingers crossed, that is all works out)
