We're in Seoul!

After a 14 hour flight from O'Hare to Seoul, we landed this afternoon at 4:45pm local time (2:45am in Chicago). Both of us are all over Korean Air.....the flight attendants were phenomenial...primarily because they had our first Budweisers (Bud Heavy - but not really an issue) to us about 15 mins after we took off. We continued on Buds and wine, for free, for the duration of the flight. Needless to say, it's was Jon's best flight ever. They fed us every 3 hours (large meals) and Jon was thrilled it was "good beef". He's eating away, thinking that he may not be eating much over the next week. Seriously though, Korean Air has exceptional service. We had our own 10 inch tv screens and were able to chose new movies, comedys, news and play Nintendo games. We also had a seat between us, so Jon chose to spread out and lay across all 3 of the seats - including mine. Always thoughtful!

Needless to say, we are both exhausted. Jon's patience is at an all time low. We've been having some difficulty getting this message to everyone because all of the internet cafes at the airport are Korean, and we hadn't been able to connect to any American websites.

We leave tomorrow morning for Vladivostok and will post photos, etc once we get there....probably within the next day or so. Please continue to check in and pray for us.

We hope everyone at home is doing well and we'll talk to all of you very soon.

Love, Beck and Jon

Korean Airlines will go into my prefered airlines to use when traveling abroad.

I am so glad that you updated us. If I had to hear Chris say "I wonder if they are there yet" one more time!

Please continue with your safe journey and know that we are so excited for you. T.K.
