Day 2 - 10 May



Breakfast at the Hyatt in Incheon is something to behold! Every type of bread, pastry, cereal, fruit, hot food, etc, etc. Ian, the adventurer had bacon and eggs. I tried some great dumplings and kimchi...delicious.

Then shuttle to the airport to check in and check out the duty free shops - just browsed and discovered that it would be best to wait to arrive in US to purchase the new camera.

Another excellent flight with Korean Air - 13 hours leaving at 1030 and arriving at 1130. Makes for a long day. Spectacular sunset as we flew over Alaska and an hour later an equally spectacular bright red sunrise.

Horrendously incompetent and disorganised deplane and immigration procedure in Washington DC, but finally got out the other side to be met by JB and Betty. We all drove to the Comfort Suites Hotel at Newport News, VA. Very comfortable huge room with free broadband service.

Hot showers and fresh clothes revitalised our weary jet lagged bodies and out we went to the Olive Grove for drinks and dinner. Crashed at about midnight...it was a loooong day.

Only 1 cocktail!! You'll need to lift your game. And that's some plane trip... how did you ever keep Ian confined in such a small space for 13 hours?? I imagine he was pacing the aisles and actually walked half way around the world. Take it easy and keep safe. xx Kerri & Mark.

Great to read and see that you are having a good time. I was surprised to read about the issues at Washington DC when you arrived - Would have thought that they have had plenty of experience in the customs process by now. Keep enjoying yourselves like I'm sure that you will and I look forward to reading further up-dates as you progress through your hard-earned and well deserved holiday.
