We're almost there! 22 hours down and 8 more hours to go (I think... the time changes are a little confusing). But, we've made it successfully to Seoul, South Korea. We left Gainesville this morning... or I guess that was yesterday... with no bumps or troubles. With a few hours to browse in Atlanta, we prepared for our 15-hour flight. We actually flew straight north over the North Pole. India happened to glance out and see icy peaks. I was asleep. We then flew south over Russia and probably China, but avoiding North Korea. A passenger told us that North Korea has threatened to shoot down any South Korean flights over their borders.
We flew on Korean Airlines and the service was excellent. I have to say, the flight attendant's outfits are pretty cute, too (see right). I had two meals, took a snooze, took an occasional lap and watched 3 movies to pass time. Overall, it was good except for when I got nautious on our descent. I asked the attendant for a barf bag and she gave me a huge shopping bag instead! Thank goodness I didn't end up needing it!
Everyone is roaming the airport now for food and money exchange before our last flight. This airport has free wi-fi and couches to lounge on, unlike Atlanta! It's pretty comfy! Whew, this is a long day/s of traveling. Nap time!
