After getting to Fort Myers airport at 5:00am EST on Sunday, we finally arrived in Korea at 7:45am EST on Monday (or 8:45pm in Korean time on Monday). We were greeted warmly by our Korean, Rotarian friends and made the 1.5 hour trek to where we are staying. The house where all 5 of us are staying is beautiful. We have it all to ourselves. It is a bit unusual to us being that there are no couches or beds - really no furniture at all besides TV's.
The bed padding was stored in a closet so we each had to lay down some pads and make our beds.
This is a bedroom when we arrived and a bedroom with the bed made:
It's in the mid 30's right now, but the floors are heated which makes sleeping on the ground much more comfortable. Colin had some bad luck with his luggage. His Downy Wrinkle Release spilled all over the inside of his suit case and all over his clothes. He took it like a champ, though. No tears were shed. It's nothing that a washing machine can't take care of.
We ended the night by saying "well, I guess we're in Korea." It still seems very surreal.
