We were picked up by Alec at Logan after a very smooth flight on Virgin Air, operated by Delta. Even the food was a cut above. There was a bit of a scare about the Clarity starting as it had been sitting for so long.
We were worried about the battery (not the one for the electric part of the car, but the other battery.) So, we drove an extra hour to Jecca and Willy's. The four of us went out to dinner at Seoul Kitchen which was very nice.
We took the 2:45 boat home on Halloween and were amazed at the crowds out celebrating on the island, so that it took us quite a bit longer to get to the house.
Thoughts on the Trip
We had a GREAT trip. Full of variety. Eight countries in two months with a mix of old and new. We traveled by plane, ferries and busses. The accommodations ranged from a hostel, hotels (modern/old), apartments (medieval to sleek), to homes of friends/family.
We think that travel is good for our brains as you have to adjust, adapt and problem solve as things are bound not to always go smoothly.
We did get tired of wearing the same clothes because of only doing carry-on luggage. It was challenging because of preparing for temperatures from the 80s to the low 50s. But, when we see people struggling with large suitcases, we are convinced we are doing the right thing. It is a bit frustrating not to be able to buy presents, but...again, lugging things up spiral stairs and onto busses....
We loved the feeling of the Scandinavia countries where we did not feel people were worried the way Americans are - about health care, child care, education.
We ate well and Mark got great ideas for new recipes.
