Seoul day 1

Well, this isn't really a whole day in Seoul yet, but wanted to share our experience so far! We are finally here! The flight was smooth & good, but LONG! We kept thinking, if this is hard on us, how is it gonna be for Samuel? & how are we going to do it? I know we will b/c we have to but it seems overwhelming! Poor baby! That long flight is tough!

Here are some pics of our journey so far!


Proud parents EARLY in the morning on Thursday!



In Chicago riding the tram to the other terminal. That's a huge airport!


Me on the tram



Yay! Our flight! Waiting to board in Chicago.



The beautiful blue & white plane!




Finally in Seoul! Bill is catching our luggage!




Waiting for the bus to our hotel outside of Inceon airport






Finally in our room! The view from our window! Beautiful!




Our room: it's small but very nice. So thankful for the internet access!





Our meal! We went to the Lotte mart. We were so exhausted & didn't want to get out tonight. So, we went to the market right under our hotel.
The subway is also right under our hotel. It's a very nice place. So thankful we found something with everything near.
Well, continue to keep us in your prayers! We get to meet our son on Monday @ 9:20! I talked with his social worker tonight! So excited & can't wait to meet him! Pray that we find the agency okay & arrive on time! I think we are about 45 minutes away from the agency. We only have to go there 2 times, so it's nice to be in the city where everything else is. Hopefully we'll do some sight-seeing tomorrow!
Thanks for all the well wishes & prayers!

Let me guess...Mt Dew for Bill and Coke for Heather? Such an exciting time for both of you! Praying for a smooth transition to Seoul time and a wonderful experience seeing Samuel's home country this weekend. May the Lord bring you peace as you await your special introduction to the most important person in your lives on Monday! We love you and are so happy that God has provided this opportunity for you both!

Leave early to go the agency, it is on a side street and was not so easy for us to find at 8pm. Bring your map and ask for directions, Korean people are nice, they may not be able to all speak English but if you have your map, they can point.
