We have arrived!
We got in yesterday and into our hotel! The flight was...long. I (Alexis) have been on international flights before. I remember being so tired coming from London to BWI. Yeah, this doesn't even compare. But I will say that Korean Air is excellent. The service is really nice. The flight attendants are wonderful. I am pretty sure I can guess their criteria for choosing flight attendants. Beautiful young women who are very friendly and professional. But they have video games and movies and documentaries available to watch. I played some games and watch The Lorax. Cute movie, but I heard that adoption comment people were talking about. Not a big fan of that comment, but the rest of the movie was cute. Rob watched a documentary and played games. We both also had our e-readers and spent most of the time reading. The plane was big and roomy. They did a great job of keeping the bathrooms from getting stinky. There was a family with a little boy about Elijah's age that was next to us. This little boy did great. He got a little whinny at times, but who can blame him? I felt a little whinny too. It is a LOOONG flight. I am praying that Jacob does as well. I was watching those parents for tips. :) Once we hit about 11 hours in the air, we were so tired. And then we hit some turbulence around Japan, and I sat there with a bag just in case. Ugh. We were both a little nauseous at that point. Once we got off, it took us less than 20 minutes to get through immigration, get our bags, and go through customs. It was pretty quiet in the airport. We got the bus straight to our hotel. Honestly, I am not sure how long the ride was. I was trying so hard not to fall asleep. But the bus was nice because we got to see Seoul. It is a HUGE city. And it is very spread out. Not like New York that has the centralized areas and then it goes out from there. It is just massive and spread out really far. Our hotel is very nice. We are staying at the Vabien II (for those of you who will be travelling soon!). They are friendly and the rooms are clean and nice. There is a kitchen and a washer/dryer. Also a little sofa. The beds are very firm (which is typical in Korea). Rob loves this fact! Today we are planning on doing a little sight seeing. We are going to the DMZ. We will update again soon! Thank you all for your prayers and support.
