Leg 4: Seoul, Korea to Bangkok, Thailand

5 hours, 30 minutes, 2,286 miles

We made it, we made it, we made it! Same type of plane (same movies too, blah) and similar seats as the last except the one next to us was occupied. Despite this, we both ended up snoozing for about 15-20 minutes this round because of sheer exhaustion. We did get a second (third? fourth?) wind by the time we landed--funny how that adrenaline kicks in. We got swept up in a wave of people heading out, breezed through the passport-checking line, and quickly found our baggage claim. Easy peasy.

Leg 3: Chicago, IL to Seoul, South Korea

13 hours, 40 minutes, 6,538 miles

Leg 2: Green Bay, WI to Chicago, IL

               ~ 3 hours, 45 minutes, 210 miles

The goodbyes have been especially difficult this leg. We had to part with my family, friends, and our little girls. I only see my family and home friends a couple of times a year so I'm just trying to tell myself that we're only missing a couple of get-togethers. That helps.

The cats, however, have been particularly heartbreaking. Throughout the packing process, Doodle has been jumping into my luggage and laying down. I'm nearly convinced she knows what's happening and wants to come along. It. kills. me.

Leg 1: Madison, WI to Green Bay, WI

First let me take a second to thank everyone who came to our goodbye party last weekend. We are lucky to have so many wonderful people in our lives and we will miss every. single. one of you. Wherever we go, you will be on our minds and in our hearts. Thank you friends!

Three more weeks! Just three weeks until we board the plane for our insane flights to Thailand. We're flying Korean Air from Chicago to Seoul (13.5 hours) and Seoul to Bangkok (5.5 hours) with only an hour layover in between. Jack says that is the adventure for him. Since he's such a nervous flyer, living in Thailand will be the bonus for making it through the journey.
