Well, I have made it past the longest part of the journey. We chased the sun (or the sun chased us) the entire time. It is weird when it feels like 2am your time and it is as bright as can be outside. They have you close the shades and make it really dark in the cabin. I kept peeking though. I love watching as we fly over northern Canada, Alaska, and then Russia. It is a surreal feeling to have these places be so close but never going there.

As you can tell, I have made it to Korea very uneventfully (which is what I always want when I travel). The flight went very well. I ended up sleeping only an hour and a half maybe. I probably could have if I tried, but there were a lot of movies that I wanted to see that were available. I definitely made a movie marathon of it. I watched Confessions of a Shopaholic, Bride Wars, Bolt, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Valkyrie (only part, I fell asleep), Bedtime Stories (once again I was asleep for part), and Last Chance Harvey. Unfortunately I didn't get to finish the last one because we were landing.

I have a several hour layover in Seoul and then am off to Chiang Mai. I grabbed something to eat at Burger King no less. I tend not to eat much airline food (it makes me feel worse rather than satisfied). For those of you who were insistent about my getting up, you should be proud! I got up twice. Not a ton, but better than my normal of none! I like Korean Air. There is more leg room than in any other flight I have had over here, and they bring drinks around quite often.

Anyway, I want to save my battery for the next flight. I don't think there is as much entertainment, and I would like to stay awake as much as possible so I can sleep right when I get to my parents house. It will be about 12:30am when I arrive there. Only one more leg of the trip left!!!
