We're Booked!
So the flight is booked, I am leaving on the 16th at 9:45am in the morning out of Edmonton, arriving in Korea late afternoon on the 17th. Korea is 8 hours ahead of us timewise, so I'll lose some time that way. I never mind so much so long as I can catch a wink or two on the plane. It's a bit of an odd feeling, leaving, of the 'parting is such sweet sorrow' variety. I'm going to miss a lot of things, and life is certainly about to go through some major shifting, but I am just now starting to get really really excited about the adventures ahead.
S and I are trying to figure out what it will all look like, as she has decided upon a new-old adventure of her own. Maggie has all of her vaccinations and travel gear (though I have yet to get her into the carrier bag without much screeching and squawking), I have some new luggage and a few new pieces for the wardrobe (I don't think I'll be ready for the "you too fat!" comments right away, I hope to put off shopping for clothing in Korea as long as possible). I'm heading up to spend some time with Mom in a couple of days, and this past few days with the besty and god babies have been really great. One more stop for a bit of shopping for shoes and undies post-final-payday and I'm all set.
I'll find out more later this afternoon about the Bundang job and the apartment when I talk to the school, hopefully everything is going to be all set up before I arrive - that would be rockin'! So today is the 7th, 9 more sleeps and I'm hoppin' the plane, woohoo! It's a little baby 'woohoo' for now, but it's growing...

This is a 'test' comment, because a couple of people have said they can't leave notes (including my mom!) - and that's no good! So here goes, let's see... S.
ReplyDeleteSo gald to hear your recruiter came through for you. Been thinking of you all day. Sure hope Maggie doesn't suffer too much jet lag and you too for that matter. Love the blog...Will visit every day Tried to send this by selecting Name/Url but wouldn't let me. That is why I have to do anon. Love.......Mom
ReplyDeleteFunny that your name/url won't work, I did it from your computer in the post above!! It's ok though, Anon works fine when you sign your name! :)
ReplyDeleteMags was great on the trip, superduperfabulous really, and I'm so ready for bed. I'm glad you're enjoying the blog, I'll take care to keep you updated on all of my exciting goodness... love you mom!
