We've made it to Korea! It's a lovely airport.

With two hours to go on our flight from Chicago to Korea, Krisi and I realized we had been in transit for a full 24 hours. With four hours of waiting in Korea and a 2 hour flight to go, we wondered how it all seemed to go so quickly. The first flight was easy....we ran into our friend Peter, also on his way to Chicago, pilfered the free magazines from the lounge (5 years of saving points = business class). waiting in Chicago was another story. We accidentally left the good terminal and headed over to the international terminal way too early to be let in to go to the lounge there. With 5 hours of waiting time, we entertained ourselves by riding the train between terminals and exploring the airport Hilton, where we had a fantastically salty dinner that won us free dessert for our complaints. We boarded our next flight at 1am...14 hours in the air. I desperately tried to keep myself awake as long as possible. Unfortunately, the on board movie "National Treasure 2" was not particularly helpful. I am happy to announce that I ate a grand total of 3 dinners all spaced about 4 hours apart. Also, I have many small bottles of beauty products as I walked through the aisles of the plane, stealing the free hospitality packs that others left behind. Krisi called me a hoarder, but we know who will be laughing when we need our fourth small bottle of Biotherm toner somewhere in southern Thailand.
Krisi and I seem to be successfully avoiding prison. So far.
