Sun, Oct 28th headin' home!

We were back to the airport at 11:30am to begin the marathon journey home.

The first three hours got us to Bangkok where we had a surprisingly good Thai dinner at the airport. I had joked that the Dairy Queen we saw in the airport probably had some interesting flavors, like a green tea blizzard and sure enough, they did have a green tea blizzard of which Becky happily partook.

A midnight departure from Bangkok got us to Korea early the next morning. There were no flights to Seattle that day, so we had planned on doing a couple bus tours of Seoul and staying at a hotel for our 35 hour layover, but we checked at the ticketing counter after landing and they got us onto an afternoon departure for Vancouver, BC. We did a short two hour bus tour out to a nearby Buddhist Temple in the city of Incheon. Despite the sleep deprivation, it was pretty cool to see the difference between a Nepali Buddhist temple and a Korean Buddhist temple. Had we actually stuck with the 35 hour layover, I'm not sure how we would've been able to rally for a full day bus tour of Seoul....maybe next time!

Around 6:30pm we took off for Vancouver, and got to watch the sun rise for the second time on Monday as we landed the next day (that same day?) in BC. A short layover, and a puddle-jumper to SeaTac and we were finally home!
