Flight
The trip to the airport was long and rather unexciting, but in the mean time, we are sitting here in the airport waiting on the plane. It is here (see left), but we cannot get on yet. It will be a 14 hour and 40 minute flight! AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
Good news: I have been on quite a few flights so it can't be that bad, it will just be long.

Flight Diary
So It's 9 a.m. and we got to Lander just before 6 a.m. It has been a long 2.5 hours of drive-stop-drive-stop. We did stop at Huddle house where I got the last bacon, eggs, grits and hash browns I will eat for a month.
On the long, bumpy bus ride, I have scoped out Seoul. Jessica and Paisley are saying they will be following me around because I seem prepared. For all the random, unexpected stuff, yes. I just wonder about the normal stuff.
Seven hours in flight and so far I have watched The Vow, Sherlock Holmes and a documentary on Mullet Fishing in Korea. Not to mention the multiple games and food.
Korean Air gives you lots of stuff. We have slippers, toothbrush, pillow, blanket and headphones. Shockingly, after my 3 hours of sleep, i am still awake. I say shockingly because everyone else has been sleeping. I, however, suffer from insomnia on all forms of moving vehicles.
In other news, I asked for beef for dinner and received something like beef stew with mashed potatoes. Dinner will hopefully result in some form of Korean food.
Six hours left to our destination of Seoul. This translates to 9 hours in flight and we are reaching dinner time. Sleep continues to evade me. I have added Alvin and the Chipmonks: Shipwrecked to my movies list and some asian movie the guy in front of me has played 3 times already this flight. My feet don't feel too swollen. It is currently 11 a.m. in Seoul.
Our flight path looks long. We have crossed the international dateline, but have not reached Russia yet. The ground below is frozen and icy. We completely skipped the pacific Ocean. It seems very odd to me that we are taking such a long route, practically going over the arctic.
I'm still looking forward to sleep and getting up at some point during this flight. My butt hurts from sitting for the last 9 hours.

Well dinner consisted of some sort of white fish, rice, steamed salmon and desert. They've asked if we want any wine 4 or 5 times already. In the mean time, I have added a few more movies to list but they are Korean movies and i don't recall their name.
