21 flight hours to Kathmandu

Incheon, Korea

The long haul from LAX was pretty pleasant. We all were able to sit across one row, Steve and Elisabeth had aisle seats, Bobbie got a window and I happily tucked my little body in the middle seat and off we went to lala land. We all had our sleeping aid of choice. I chose Melatonin and we all had a pretty good rest for about 6 – 8 hours with some nature breaks in between. That shrimplike airplane pillow worked really well. I feel refreshed and despite another 7 hour leg to Kathmandu, I must say I am functioning. The only thing I wish for is airport wifi!!!

I kept maulling the last interview I had last Friday in my mind thinking I could have done better. But after several hours, I figured I needed to let it go in order for me to focus on the present moment. I have 3 lovely companions on this wonderful journey and I am seeing my kids again after an entire year!! Chill! Relax, and feel good that I had the experience to interview and this will make me a better candidate next time! Life is good!

From what I gather about my travel mates is that we are all adventurous, and willing to put ourselves out there to experience something new. Elisabeth decided to be a travelling biker in her early 60’s, Steve backpacked across Europe for a year in college. Bobbie traveled to China and Asia and is giddy with anticipation, I feel like a Mom with kids! Everyone is easy going and kind and thoughtful! This will be a wonderful trip, oh it already is! After 21 hours of flight time and 9+ hours of lay overs and waiting around airports, I can’t wait to touch down and hug my Robbie!
