Arrived in Seoul!

Well after a long 14 hr flight we arrived safely in Seoul, Korea. Due to the 15 hr time difference, my editor is fast asleep (hopefully because that mean Andy is sleeping as well) and I will be publishing unsupervised.
The flight was uneventful and consisted of several iterations of eating, watching movies, and sleeping. Finally we arrived in Seoul. We went through immigration, customs and headed to the currency exchange. At 1500 won per US dollar, I felt like a rich man leaving with a roll of 10,000 won bills. We hopped on the bus to take us to our hotel and then had a quick bite to eat. We will spend Sunday sightseeing and Monday we will finally get to meet with Aidan!

Here are a couple pictures (better than nothing...)

(Honestly this is the best picture of the trip so far...

I will try to do better tomorrow...

I just need sleep)

Glad you got there safe and sound, wow what a trip so far!! I bet you can't wait to finally meet your new son on Monday. I had Steffany and her friend figuring out what time it is there in Seoul, they actually got into it trying to figure out the time difference. Kristen are you a basket case? or is Andy distracting you with his cuteness. Aunt Meg
