Safe and Sound

May I just say that Singapore Airlines is awesome?  The service was impeccable, and the food wasn’t bad - although they did wake me up from dozing to eat the first meal.  My only problem with the flight over to Korea was that I was so HOT!  I was sitting in between the Hubby and this other girl, on her way to Korea to teach from Ohio.  Normally, there are air vents over each seat, but not on this plane.  I think it was because I was wearing tennis shoes and socks instead of the normal flip flops or sandals.  I was afraid of sending my luggage over the limit, so I wore them instead of packing them.  I was afraid to take the shoes off, though, for fear of making the entire cabin smell bad.  Ah, the curse of my family's feet!  (Daddy, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout.)  Finally, I couldn’t stand it anymore, shed the shoes, and hoped for the best.  

I couldn’t sleep well, and I kept making the Hubby get up so I could go to the bathroom or walk around and stretch.  I just got a bit restless, I guess.  I watched a couple movies and slept when I could.  At the airport, we met our recruiter and exchanged some money.  Then we went to the “guest house,” which is really a hotel with a stove, washer, and full sized refrigerator, much like an extended stay hotel in the States.  After we ate dinner at a Korean restaurant (the food was OK; I’ll have to spend some time getting used to it), we went to E-mart, which is kind of like a Korean Walmart, and looked around for a while.  We were just so tired, though, and by 9 pm, we were both passed out in the bed, completely exhausted after 24 HOURS of travelling!!

P.S.  For those of you who said you had problems adding comments, I think I have solved the issue if you care to put in your two cents.
