It is 2:00AM in Nanaimo. I have just finished watching four movies, ones I probably would never have rented! I feel stiff and sore from sitting for 11 1/2 hours. But we have arrived in Korea. The journey truly has begun now. There is a feeling that we have completed our first task.
The pilot announced that the local temperature was 23 C. As we walked down the passage to the terminal I realize this is not the same 23C one would experience on Vancouver Island. It feels as if I am in the bathroom when someone has just completed a long hot shower. The humidity is palpable.
We are soon in the terminal and begin the long walk to our gate for the connecting flight. The terminal is beautiful, clean, modern and stylish. The corridors are lined with the top of the line shops that will never open their doors in Nanaimo. I tease the ladies they don't need to go to the Mall of Asia because they can do all of the shopping they want right here in the airport.
Korean Air Lines was an excellent way to travel. The plane was great, the service by the air hostesses was excellent and the flight was as good as any trip in which one is caught in an aluminum cylinder for 11 1/2 hours .
Just think, in another hour we will get to do it again!
