12:30am After 7months of anticipation and waiting, we boarded the
plane that took us on our 14hour long flight to Korea to finally meet
and take custody of our son, Wiggly. Here are some pictures that
never made it to the the real time blogging.

9:22am Packed and ready at last! I cannot pack light at all. One of
the suitcases had donation items only – I just can't remember if it was
the medium or small sized suitcase. One of the guys that checked us
in duly noted the pink duct tape and said, “you won't lose those
bags with that bright color tape on!”

10:32am Everything is in the truck; I stepped out to get a picture
taken with one of my peonies – first year it bloomed that year. I
love flowers!

5:31pm Got my boarding ticket – from Chicago to Seoul!
All to bring
that little guy home to us! So worth the wait!

12:18am We finally made it to our boarding area. There's our plane –
Asiana Airlines. We literally only
had about 15min from the time we got to the boarding area to boarding
time. Had a problem with getting UD's boarding pass; we were told to
step aside and wait and I think the lady forgot all about us. Thank
God GM was there to prod her at a critical time. I was a goner by
then.
Quick pictures
before boarding.

11:36am (US time) Only 2 ½ hours to go!
GM kept busy
with her quilting. I brought some crochet stuff but hardly got
anything done.
As soon as we
landed at Incheon Airport, GM looked at both of us and said, “thank you, for inviting
me to come to Korea with you guys!” We wouldn't/couldn't have done
it any other way. It was a blessing for me to be able to witness GM
and UD discovering together UD's birth country – even if we only
stayed in Seoul.
