I've been in Korea now for 6 days, and its been fun and very relaxing - exactly what I needed after a busy seven weeks in Europe! I've been golfing, shopping, sleeping in, watching TV...its been great. I even went out on Friday with my Dad (talk about a new experience)! And I just found out about another adventure...
So yesterday I tried flying out on a military flight, like how we got to Japan. Well, that didn't work out too well - there were a TON of people looking to do exactly what I wanted to do and get to Seattle. I probably could've gotten to Misawa Air Base, Japan, but that would have left me in Japan - not exactly near my final destination! We left the air terminal and went back to sleep (ok, I went to sleep, and Dad had to go to work after being up since 4:00AM) and tried figuring out a solution. After talking with Mom, we realized the best way for me to get home would be to purchase a ticket and not try for a military flight. A college student isn't really top priority in the military (go figure) so the likelihood of me flying out before the end of August was...not ideal. Thus, it was over to the travel agent here on base to figure out a ticket!
Dad and I went to the travel agent and try figuring out a ticket. YIKES! So expensive. Thats when the travel agent says "wait". She goes on to explain that if I have a 24 hour layover in Honolulu, the ticket is $300 cheaper. Uh, hello? 24 hours (midnight to midnight) in Hawaii?? I'll take that!
So that is now the plan. I'm leaving Osan 5:00AM on Saturday, and fly out of Korea at around 10:00AM, getting in to Hawaii at midnight on Friday. Then, I have a 24 hour layover in Honolulu before heading to Seattle and then Anchorage on Saturday night. The plan: stay on base (its way cheaper!) and then go to the beach on Saturday. Yes! One more "daycation" before my adventure back home is complete. Sounds good to me!
I'll keep you up to date about how this all goes :)
