Hi everyone!
Welcome to our new blog! We wanted to get this up and running as quickly as possible, so hopefully this rough design will be improved soon.
Brian and I arrived at Pearson International Airport bright and early at around 4 am on February 10th. Checking into the airport was very stressful for me.

Brian busy packing
I had spent the previous day packing, unpacking, and weighing my luggage over and over again… Finally, it was judgment day. We placed our first suitcase on the scale: 54 lbs. “You’re over by 4 points, but I’ll let it go. If any other luggage is over, you’ll have to pay,” said the check-in lady. I breathed a sigh of relief, “thank you!” The next piece was exactly 50 lbs. The third weighed in at 52 lbs, but she let it go through! Our last piece was 50 lbs as well. We were home free!!
Our checked luggage was not placed on a conveyer belt; we brought it with us as we went through US customs. There, we were told that our carry-ons were too bulgy. Simply enough, we took things out of our carry-on luggage and stuffed it into our checked luggage-- I guess weight wasn't an issue anymore!

Golden Gate Bridge from the sky!
Our first flight was from Toronto to San Francisco. After many delays (door pressure, fuel gauge, refueling, runway closure), we made it to San Fran with 30 min to spare before catching our connecting flight.
We're so exhausted, although we look fabulous
We had a pleasant, albeit long (12h45min), flight to Incheon, South Korea. They fed us bulgogi (marinated beef) and rice, and ramen noodles.
Our friend Jamie was there to greet us at the airport. We dropped our things off at her place in Incheon, where I successfully read my first hangul sign: Arabian Night! For dinner we ate yummy dok mandoo gook (rice cake and dumpling soup). We stayed at Jamie's for our first night.
P & B are ready for their Korean adventure!
