The adventure begins...


 We're pretty delayed in making an entry but we've been going nonstop since we got here, and then... when you have 3 boys who are in various of stages of sleepless nights, you just sleep when you're able.

Our travel day started great. August 22nd was greeted with a lot of excitement by all. Only mom and dad knew what a true marathon we were in for. Lesley picked us up at home and got us to the airport safely. The Rochester American Airlines contingent was awesome. It's so easy to get everything taken care of at our little airport. The flight to Chicago was fantastic (read as short). The boys said they loved flying. Charles comment was 'Cars stink. Airplanes rule.' Henry was served a snack and said, 'I could get used to this.' Travis was sitting with Min, and his only comment was that Min was trying for maximum number of calories burned while strapped into an airplane seat. At least he was happy.

Min loved this truck. Said it had a yellow button on it.
Min continuing to get some exercise in Chicago.
Little does he know how long he's going to be in that seat.

Waiting for the train in Tokyo.

The boys ride from Chicago to Tokyo started out great. Ended not so well. Henry didn't sleep well than started to feel sick. Made it to the bathroom in just enough to vomit on the bathroom floor. Well, at least it wasn't on the nice lady next to him (who wasn't me.) Charles got a bloody nose right before we landed in Tokyo. We gave them all Benadryl in Tokyo (thank you for permission, Dr. J!!) and had a really great flight to Seoul (read that as all boys, including parents, slept).

Waiting for luggage in Seoul. We made it through customs and immigration quickly and easily. Found our luggage with no trouble due to some advice from Travis' great aunt Ethel... we tied multi-colored ribbon to the handles.  Who elses luggage looks like a Christmas present.
Had some trouble downloading photos in order. This is in Rochester before we left. Mrs. Park stopped out to drop off something to take to her neice. Thank goodness as she waited with us until we got through security.
