Step off the plane.

    A couple sleepless nights, some (now seemingly aimless) running around, added with 28 hours of airports which also includes: 15 hours of acutal flying, 7 hours of waiting in the departures lounge,  crappy airport food, and finding transportation to our hostel. The transporation to the hostel sounds like the easiest part, well... we took the airport bus into town, got off 3 stops too early ( the korean language has many different versions of the same thing, we later found out), and had to walk in the heavy, mind altering humidity and heat, for about 45 minutes, finding out that our hostel doesn't have a sign on the door, so we really don't know where it is, so we walk...and walk... (aside: if you knew how heavy our bacpacks are you would find this amusing, and maybe chuckle a bit) Anyway, good thing we ran into Achmed. He pointed us in the right direction and away we went...straight to bed.

Less than a week.

Well the party lives on with all our family and friends, saying the last of "see ya laters" before we go. Its great to know how people feel about you as a person and this is one of the ways to see it.. To go Away!!
We are both done work now for 4 months, which feels great! We have however much money we have saved, and that is all. We will live as rich or as poor as we need to and then live on love!
Life is a lot easier if you try not to think of the material things and focus on feelings; most of all Love and Happiness. Material things don't make you happy, they may make you smile for a bit but real happiness comes from love and sharing love with one another.
"Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive."-The Dalai Lama

3 weeks left..

Well, this year seemed to go by very fast. Saving for another trip to the other side of the world, to experience what life is all about in other cultures and through the lives of others' eyes. There is plenty more to life than just whats here on earth, but I would like to experience what I can on this earth before we go any further. Life is fast, but if you don't stop and look around a bit, it'll pass by so quickly you will wonder if it was worth living!!
Anyway, three weeks left, only 2 weeks of work left and the pressure is on of getting everything set in stone before entering the world of the unknown. Trying to stay positive and not worry is the hardest thing in life I find. However, with such a great family and palette of friends, there is nothing I would want more than what I already have.
Its gonna be an awesome adventure.
