Made it to Korea!

We are in the Korean airport, relaxing before our next flight.  It is 4:48 am Atlanta time and we've had about an hour sleep in 10 minute spurts.  23 hours awake so far.  I'm sitting in the play area at the airport watching Andrew make friends with a little Korean boy.  He is explaining to him what baseball is like.  A slight language barrier, but fast friends regardless!

Keith is having a rough time of it.  Sinus infection, no sleep and (ready for this?) the part of his headphones that sticks in his ears is stuck deep in his ear canal.  No idea how that happened but we have no way to get it out.  Once we get to Hong Kong, we can get the tweezers out of the suitcase and see if we can grab it.  Something tells me that we will be searching for a medical clinic.  That being said, he is such a trooper.  If this was me, I would be balling my eyes out and completely inconsolable.  Makes me love him even more!

We get to Hong Kong at 10:45pm their time, which is 9:45 am at home.  We have to collect all of our luggage, find the hotel shuttle and make our way there.  Tomorrows plan was to sight see, but all depends on how the family is doing.  We will definitely be heading to the train station to purchase tickets for Sunday.

Some pics from the airport/plane today...

I can't believe he got the headphone stuck in his ear. I'm guessing it is the pad thingy that you are talking about. That would drive me crazy! Glad to hear the trip is going well other than that. I'm a few days behind reading so I'll catch up in a few minutes.
