We made it!!!

We survived the 10 hour flight. When we got on the plane Hailey received a toy bag that had a coloring book, colored pencils and a magnet board to draw on. I was already shocked with that, then they can with a box of tissues ( wasnt sure if that was a prep for our shedding tears in pure distress on a 10 hour flight or what). Then we got little slippers for our feet, tooth brush with paste, pillow and blankets. Oh, needless to say we were running out of room to put this stuff down.
We each had a tv and saw about 4 movies. We were also given lunch and dinner. Hailey got her own plate too. It got a little challenging holding her and a full meal. WHen I say full meal I'm talking Korean meal - soup, rice dish, glass of water, dessert, bread. We had a tray full. Shockingly neither of us spilled anything.
The ladies loved Hailey and she was ready to roll thinking this flight was going to be just like the other one where everyone played with her and wanted to watch her for me. OH NO - the lights were kept off the entire flight minus meal time and no one talked the entire way. WOW, never experienced that before. Hailey made up for the entire group. She wasnt fussy she was just super talkative.
Here we were waiting for our plane and Hailey made it her duty to waive to everyone in the airport and make them smile. I think she did quite well. She did the same thing once we arrived in Korea.


I was so glad I had her in this outfit cause the plane was soooo hot! Thank goodness for my ginger candy. Someone had given me some that helps air sickness as well as car sick.

Once we got to Korea we had to wait for a bus that turned out to be 3 hours. At that point I just wanted to crawl in bed but not we were not done.

While we were waiting we saw this cactus sign and just laughed.

Hailey patiently waited. Thank goodness for sippy cups and puffs!

Once we got to the bus stop we then had to catch a cab. So Hailey and I waited in some type of an enclosed area because it was cold and snowing. The cab ride wasnt too long and then when we got to the dorm Hailey had to check everything out. She went down a little after 10 and was up by 2am Korea time. The next few nights were looooonnnggg and exhausting.

She did not do well with the time change since she had just gotten used to Hawaii. It took almost a week and then the good naps during the day came and a long nights sleep.






The next morning we had a beautiful snow and Hailey was up and ready to discover Korea. Joel and I however were ready to go back to bed!
