We made it
After a 14 hour flight, we made it to Seoul! We both survived the trip just fine - Andy was a real trooper. So far our "tour" of Seoul has led us only to the shopping complex attached to our hotel. We managed to find the subway we will be using, and located a variety of restaurants including Mickey D's, BK, Pizza Hut, Baskin Robbins, Outback, and KFC. We also found a Build-A-Bear and the Korean version of Claire's Boutique.
We were going to be brave and avoid the forementioned restaurants and order from a Korean place, but the ordering situation was a bit too intimidating - all the food was on display in a central location, and after you ordered you went and picked it up from the correct counter. Oy! So good ol' BK won out - we will do our best to eat Korean tomorrow. (Craig, please don't make fun of Andy for ordering BK while in Korea!)
Speaking of tomorrow, we will be meeting Theo officially at 1:30pm. Originally our meeting was scheduled for 10am, but I think that there are so many families meeting their children tomorrow that some of us got bumped until the afternoon.
I will post pics and videos as soon as I can tomorrow evening!

How wonderful for you both and Andy I am with you BK was a good choice. I cannot believe that in a short time your family will all be together. I can't wait to meet Theo. How exciting. My nephew and his wife are in Guatamala right now meeting their little girl for the first time. Isn't life just amazing. Take care - write often and I can't wait to see you guys.
14 hours on a plane I think you should have eaten at all of the fast food joints!I'm so excited for you guys. I can't wait to take cheek to cheek pictures. Love Aunt Joan

HALL SCHOOL is on the edge of our seats waiting to hear all about your adventure and especially Theo!!

Glad to hear that you made it. Can't wait to see the pictures!

Well Sarah, now you have eaten at McDonald's in Rome and Burger King in Seoul - maybe you can make it a life's ambition to eat fast food around the world.
It is 5:12 pm Tuesday here and 6:12 am Wednesday in Korea,not too many hours to go before the big meeting. I can hardly stand it. I'll be checking the blog constantly for updates! Give that baby a big hug and kiss from his wacky granny in the mountains!
I won't make fun of Andy for eating BK, unless you guys pull that mess again tomorrow.
Plus, I was really hoping you would have massive surprise Asian diarrhea on your first day with your new son. Would make for a more entertaining video and blog posting. No such luck though.
Later,
Craig
Isn't it Wednesday yet?! This is like the longest week ever!!!
I'm so happy you guys are there safe and sound and I can't wait to see all the pictures and vidoes tomorrow!
Love all 3 of you :-)
I am so thankful you had a good flight! I won't be long now till you get to hold Theodore in your arms!! Give him a BIG HUG & KISS from his Grandma Jane!!
