Trip 1, Day ????

We left Des Moines on a Saturday, and got here (Russia) on a Monday. So does that make this day three or day one of the trip? We're not sure. We slept some on the plane but we are tired and trying to adjust to the slight change in time zone.

We made it here safe and sound. Our contact met us right outside of customs and took us to the hotel and gave us a quick tour.

A couple shout outs to a few people:
  • Kudos to the Seoul airport for having a nice travel lounge. Nice place to sit, watch tv and shower rooms (now only if we would have packed towels).
  • Kudos to Aaron for all the travel words of wisdom and last minute info
  • Kudos to Hank for the tip on using wet wipes when you don't have access to a shower and still need to smell well not like an airplane
  • And last but not least....could someone ask the rocket scientist why you have to have the shades up on the plane when you take off and land...

To be continued....

    You have to have the shades up on the plane when you take off and land...
    1. 'cause they say so
    2. If the plane falls down and has a boo-boo, you want to be able to avoid going out of an exit where the plane is on fire.
