3/1/12: On the Plane to Korea over the Pacific Ocean

Star Date- 3/1/12 7:42pm CT , 8:42am Phnom Pehn

On the Plane to Korea over the Pacific Ocean

Well, I’m really on my way!  The past week has been a whirlwind of finishing packing, finishing up things at work, backing up critical documents, getting final booster shots, celebrating birthdays, talking to family one more time before I leave, and wondering what I’ve forgotten.  It’s been exciting, scary, fun and overwhelming all at the same time!

The journey is 2 plane flights- 12 hrs to Soule South Korea and then 6 hrs to Phnom Pehn,  So far, 5 hrs into the trip it hasn’t been bad.  I’ve mostly slept to try to start changing my sleep schedule.   I think the trip may be somewhat like the 24hrs on the bus to Disney World with the RST High School Panther Band, only with out so many bouncy teenagers to “heard” and jet lag to get over at the other end.

Speaking of jetlag- I will try to get out on a bike ride on Saturday –hopefully that will help get my internal clock reset.  This week-end we also have an orientation and then Monday morning, bright and early, we get to meet our clients!  Looking forward to that!

So I’ll get this posted when I get my internet access up and working at the hotel.  Would love to hear any comments or questions people have since this is my first time Bloging!

More later,

Mary
