Leaving soon!

I just realized how quickly my trip is approaching! Next week the kids are at Camp Chin-gu (friend) - a local Korean culture camp. A week from Sunday we leave for our 18 days in Korea. While I am very excited, I am suddenly hit with the realities of dealing with leaving for almost 3 weeks and with getting everything figured out over there (subway, buses, guest house, etc.). Lots to do. Right now we will land in Seoul on 7/20 and spend the night at the Holt Guest House. We will have 2 days in Seoul. In the afternoon of the second day we will take the KTX Train to Busan (so fast!), where we are staying with the parents of a friend of mine - they are so sweet and kind to us. The next day we will take a bus to Goseong and pick up my son's younger brother who will come to Busan to stay with us for several days while my son's Halmoni is working. This is great!! We were not expecting to be able to do this. This will allow my son to have lots of time with his brother. I am planning to run out and pick up some board games, a frisbee, etc. so that they have plenty to play with.

  1. Hello, I would love to meet with you when you first arrive. I will give you some maps and guidebooks (Marines always think that is important) and some hand fans (it is summer now). I have been following your blog and really appreciate folks who are parenting KAD's and helping them to learn about their birth country.
    My cell phone in Korea is 010-4224-0773. Let me know the time of arrival in Incheon International airport. Maybe I can leave you something at the Post Adoption Service on the 4th floor where you will stay.

  2. Don - I have to apologize... I just now (12/30) found this post!! I had trouble with blogspots updating the format and all and was gone from my blog for a bit. I would have loved to have met you. We are returning in one year (12/2011) and could meet you then?!
