We made it to Korea and it just hit me that this is my first time in Asia. I have now, in a combination of ever so short bops and some longer stays, been to 6 of the 7 continents. Crazy.
We have one more flight ahead of us and then we are home. I feel very ready for whatever bed will be waiting for me.
Thanks for your prayers, well wishes, and sweet goodbyes. It is always hard for us to leave behind our families and friends.
In my travel weary, sleep deprived state, I often tend to have a few moments during our long plane rides away from home where I wonder just how crazy we must be. But then we get little goody bags from the stewardess, and I find that what I thought was surely little eye masks are instead cute slipper, we spot monks and cute kids, smell new smells, hear new sounds, make silly mistakes for lack of understanding....and I remember why it is we love all this. (But still I think I will be a bit more happy once I sleep...)
