Asia Trip 2023 Day 11 - Until the Next One

Even though we are flying home today our flight isn’t until 7:15 PM so we had a few remaining hours to take in Seoul before we head home. Don’t tell Jenn that she didn’t want to get out of bed today but reluctantly did after I brought her Starbucks in bed and helped pack up the last few remaining items.

Beijing/Bali Trip 2013 Day 0: And So It Begins

The wait is finally over. Our journey to the far east is about to begin. Today started like most any other weekday. We woke up and went to work. Jenn had a busy day at the office but was able to have a nice lunch with her dad. Me on the other hand I had to bounce from meeting to meeting (Pomona to Ontario and then home). Luckily I got home a little before Jenn so was able to pack up the the car, make sure everything in the house was in order, and wait for Jenn to get off work.
